2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · FY09 HZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 13 December 2025 at 113,517 miles resulted in a pass immediately following a failure on the same day. This failure specifically identified an insecure nearside front suspension arm that impaired directional stability. While this critical mechanical fault was addressed, the history suggests a pattern of only only MOT failures. At 17 years old, the recorded 113,517 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,677 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate domestic use. The data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the November 2023 and December 2024 tests, and 6,178 miles covered in the following year. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the low age increases the likelihood of natural degradation in rubber-based components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, given the 2025 failure regarding the suspension arm. The December 2024 test at 107,339 miles highlighted significant neglect regarding tyre maintenance, with all four tyres flagged for perishing or being near the legal limit. This indicates the previous owner ignored basic consumable upkeep until they prompted an MOT failure. Physical inspection must check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and signs of perished bushings, as the age of the vehicle often leads to brittle rubber regardless of low mileage.
