2011 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · FV61 EBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and consumables. The most recent test in November 2025 at 88,337 miles shows the car passed after an initial failure for a position lamp and multiple mechanical defects. While the immediate failures were rectified, the persistent presence of corroded coil springs across all corners and worn suspension arm bushes indicates that the owner only addresses these components when they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 88,337 miles, this 15-year-old Nissan Note reflects low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual use, with roughly 8,300 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,500 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage profile likely contributes to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by recurring advisories regarding cracking and perishing of tyres over the last three years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as all four coil springs have been flagged for corrosion since 2023. The tester noted worn front suspension arm bushes in the 2025 test, which can affect steering precision and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Given the history of thin brake pads and tyres reaching the legal limit, the current state of the braking system and the remaining tread depth on all tyres should be verified to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement despite the recent MOT pass.
