2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · FE11 HPL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 108,587 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure involving multiple critical safety defects. The transition from a clean pass in 2024 to a multi-point failure later suggests that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Data shows a notable period of inactivity between October 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered only 55 miles in nearly ten months.This lack of use often contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components and dry rot in tyres. The mileage remained stagnant around 108,000 miles for two years, which likely explains the sudden structural failures observed in three separate tyres during the July 2025 inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record shows the offside front suspension arm bush was flagged across two consecutive tests in 2025. Although the latest report noted the wear was not yet resulting in excessive movement, recurring failures indicate the component is nearing the end of its life and will soon affect handling. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for front brake pads below the 1.5mm limit proves that basic consumables are frequently ignored until they reach a point of critical failure. Given the recent failure of three tyres due to structural separation in 2025, the remaining rubber should be checked for sidew cracking or age-related deformation regardless of tread depth. The buyer should also verify for corrosion on the brake lines and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary are prone to accelerated oxidation. The history suggests a vehicle that is mechanically sound for short trips but requires immediate attention to suspension bushings and braking components to ensure long-term reliability.
