2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · FL61 VFF

The 2011 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 62,720 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes and no advisories logged against suspension, brakes, steering, or emissions. Prior to that, the vehicle failed on both 12 March 2024 and 3 April 2025 at 56,810 and 59,518 miles respectively, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against either failure, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 62,720 against a 15-year-old vehicle, an average of roughly 4,181 miles per year. The gap between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests shows 3,202 miles added, consistent with the long-term low-use pattern. From March 2024 to April 2025 the car covered 2,708 miles. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods are likely, which raises the prospect of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and corroding brake discs from disuse rather than high-mileage wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the brake calipers and discs for binding or surface corrosion linked to the low-mileage dormancy. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe should be checked for moisture-driven rust given the car's age and likely outdoor storage. Exhaust integrity and emissions readiness warrant a cold-start review. The absence of advisories across the passed tests implies previous owners addressed test requirements when presented, though the two zero-defect failures point to inconsistent MOT handling rather than neglected upkeep. Given the clean recent record, the Note stands as a low-risk purchase subject to the routine checks above.
