2008 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · F4 TEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding significant mechanical components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 116,783 miles passed, it followed a period of multiple failures in June of that year. The record indicates that while the owner addressed immediate safety failures like brake efficiency and worn bushes, underlying issues of corrosion and suspension wear remain advisories, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. At 116,783 miles, this 18-year-old Nissan Note has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use patterns for its age. However, the data shows a concentrated cluster of activity in June 2025, where the vehicle covered only 2 miles between three separate test attempts and a final pass. This stagnant mileage, combined with the gap between June 2024 and June 2025 tests, suggests the car is only driven when necessary to meet the annual inspection requirement rather than following a regular service schedule. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub-frame and suspension geometry. The June 2025 failures flagged excessive wear on both nearside and offside front lower suspension pins and bushes, alongside corrosion on all four coil springs. Because the tester noted corroded components in the latest report, the structural integrity of these areas is likely to deteriorate rapidly. The buyer should also verify the persistent oil leak noted in June 2025 to ensure it has not worsened into a significant leak that would necessitate a future failure.
