2010 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · FV10 XBB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on June 3, 2025 at 139,820 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car transitioned from failures in previous years to consecutive clean passes in the last two testing cycles. This lack of defects in recent tests indicates that the current owner is proactively addressing mechanical requirements and ensuring the vehicle meets minimum standards without lingering advisory warnings. At 139,820 miles over 16 years, the Nissan Note averages approximately 8,739 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,500 miles being recorded between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 4,733 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seal degradation and fluid breakdown in older engines. A buyer should remain vigilant regarding the components that caused the failures in May 2023 and June 2024, although the specific mechanical causes for those failures were not detailed in the summary. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection must focus on the integrity of the suspension coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on this model. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers to ensure the recent clean passes reflect a well-maintained braking system rather than a temporary fix for the test.
