2010 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · EX59 LGA

The 2024‑01‑15 MOT at 35,578 miles resulted in a pass, with only minor advisories on the front suspension arm pin/bush wear and front brake pad thickness below the minimum. Since the 2022 test, the vehicle has recorded only advisory defects and no failures, indicating a stable maintenance pattern that has not deteriorated. The mileage trajectory shows a low annual average of about 2,200 miles for a 16‑year‑old model, but the rate of increase accelerated after 2022, rising from 25,165 miles in January 2022 to 35,578 miles by January 2024, a gain of roughly 4,400 miles in two years. Earlier years display more spaced intervals, while periods such as 2016‑2017 and 2017‑2018 show relatively rapid mileage accumulation, suggesting periods of reduced use followed by renewed activity. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring suspension issues – the front arm pin and bush wear noted in 2024, 2018 and 2014 – and verify the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints and related mounting points for play or corrosion. The repeated thin front brake pads and the 2023 tyre wear close to the legal limit indicate that brake discs, pads and tyre tread depth merit close inspection, as does the functionality of the rear stop lamps, which have failed twice. Finally, the record points to potential structural rust around the front suspension mounting areas and the chassis, so a visual inspection for corrosion, especially on the off‑side front lower arm and any rust‑prone steel sections, is essential; the buyer should also confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards and that the vehicle’s overall structural integrity remains sound.
