2007 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · FH07 HGO

The vehicle holds a current, valid MOT certificate issued on 18 May 2026 at 129,667 miles, following a failure the previous day. The maintenance trend over the last two years shows a clear improvement in the most critical areas. The 2025 test flagged headlamp aim faults, a worn suspension bush on both sides, and sub-frame corrosion. By the 2026 re-test, the headlamp issues were resolved and the suspension wear no longer appeared, suggesting these items were addressed. The record indicates a reactive but ultimately effective approach to repairs, with the owner rectifying the major failures promptly before the pass test. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. The recorded 4,248 miles added between the May 2025 test at 125,419 miles and the May 2026 test at 129,667 miles represents low annual use, well below the typical 6,825 miles per year average suggested by the overall age. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings across the three-year window from May 2024 to May 2026, indicating the vehicle has been in regular, albeit light, use without long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus the physical inspection on two persistent advisories that have appeared across multiple tests. The offside lower windscreen damage has been noted since at least May 2025 and remains present. While the tester has consistently judged it not to affect the driver's view, any crack or chip in the glass can propagate with temperature changes or road vibration, so assessing its current extent is sensible. The offside registration plate lamp fault also recurred in 2025 and appeared again in the 2026 failure before being fixed. Checking the entire rear lamp cluster for water ingress, damaged wiring, or corroded bulb holders would verify the repair is sound. The 2025 record also raised a structural concern worth investigating. The front sub-frame was flagged as corroded but not seriously weakened at 125,419 miles. Although this did not appear in the 2026 pass, sub-frame corrosion on a 19-year-old vehicle can be progressive, particularly if the car has been used on salted roads. A close visual check underneath for flaking metal, pinholes, or fresh underseal masking old rust would give a clearer picture of long-term structural integrity. The suspension bushes were also worn at the same test, so listening for clunks over rough surfaces and checking for uneven tyre wear will confirm whether the front end remains in good order.
