2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · FG61 RZB

The 2011 Nissan Note presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 25 June 2025 at 79,877 miles. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. Prior to this, the record shows a passing test on 29 June 2024 at 73,255 miles, also without any faults. An anomalous entry exists for 3 October 2023 at 71,359 miles, listing a failure yet recording no defects; however, the vehicle passed a retest on the same day, suggesting a minor issue was swiftly rectified. This pattern of consistently passing tests points to a vehicle that has been kept in a thoroughly roadworthy condition. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,325 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 66,902 miles and the October 2023 test at 71,359 miles, the car covered 4,457 miles over a twelve-month period. The subsequent period, from October 2023 to June 2024, saw a similar distance of 1,896 miles covered in just eight months, before a jump of 6,622 miles occurred between June 2024 and June 2025. This sporadic accumulation suggests the vehicle experienced periods of prolonged standing interspersed with bursts of heavier use, a usage pattern typical of a secondary or occasional-use car. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must inspect the vehicle thoroughly in person, focusing on the specific vulnerabilities of a low-mileage, aging vehicle. Extended periods of inactivity can cause rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls to perish or crack, even with sufficient tread depth. The braking system warrants close scrutiny; calipers can seize and discs can surface-corrode when a car sits idle for long durations. Structural integrity is another critical area. Inspect the underbody, sills, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as low annual mileage does not preclude rust, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions or used on salted roads for short trips. Checking the condition of the exhaust system and ensuring the engine reaches optimal operating temperature during a test drive will confirm the health of the emissions components and the cooling system.
