2010 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · GD10 XAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in September 2024 at 107,753 miles resulted in a failure due to exposed cords on the nearside front tyre and insufficient tread on the offside. While it passed a retest sixty miles later at 107,812 miles, the recurring nature of tyre failures suggests that the owner only addresses safety issues once they reach a critical threshold. At 107,812 miles over sixteen years, the Nissan Note has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. There is a notable gap in recorded mileage between October 2022 at 82,517 miles and September 2023 at 90,834 miles, though the vehicle covered nearly 8,000 miles in that period. The low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, but it does not prevent the natural degradation of rubber and metal components. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension components, as the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint was flagged for play in 2023. The record also shows a history of neglected brakes, with thin pads and pitted discs noted in 2021, indicating the braking system may be nearing another interval. The consistent mention of uneven tyre wear across multiple years points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be professionally verified to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
