2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · FN09 KKS

The 2009 Nissan Note demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-04-15 at 94,734 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, though a failure on 2022-04-08 at 79,881 miles was recorded without specific defects. This suggests intermittent compliance rather than a persistent mechanical issue, though the lack of detail on the 2022 failure limits definitive analysis. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern shows consistent annual testing, indicating responsible ownership. The car’s mileage of 94,734 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 5,573 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers through lack of use. The MOT records show no gaps beyond standard intervals, and the absence of recurring defects in recent tests suggests no immediate mechanical risks. However, the 2022 failure raises questions about potential oversight or transient issues that were resolved. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for wear, particularly if the low mileage has led to stiffness or premature degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as inactivity can exacerbate such issues. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion are also critical, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the combination of low mileage and sporadic testing warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s condition and address any hidden risks.
