2007 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · FM07 BWX

The 2007 Nissan Note presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 29 September 2025 at 67,680 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trajectory appears highly consistent, with the vehicle passing its last two annual inspections without any advisories or failures. This pattern suggests a diligent approach to preventative upkeep, as the tester flagged no issues regarding structural integrity, braking efficiency, or exhaust emissions during the most recent assessment. The recorded mileage indicates exceptionally light use for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 3,562 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 63,182 miles and the October 2024 test at 65,270 miles, the car covered just 2,088 miles over twelve months. Mileage accumulation then slowed further, with only 2,410 miles added between the October 2024 pass and the September 2025 pass at 67,680 miles. Such low annual mileage often points to short, local journeys, which can prevent the powertrain from reaching optimal operating temperatures, though the clean MOT results suggest this has not yet caused mechanical degradation. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the MOT history contains two anomalous entries from 2023 and 2024 where the vehicle officially failed yet registered no defects, likely indicating aborted tests or administrative duplicates rather than mechanical faults. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage profile, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged standing rather than high mileage wear. Check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and thoroughly inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and brake lines. Verify the condition of the tyres for date-code cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often require replacement due to age-related sidewall degradation rather than tread wear.
