2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · GY59 CLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 97,092 miles resulted in a failure due to a structural tear in the nearside rear tyre, which was rectified immediately to allow a pass on the same day. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for two consecutive tests, suggesting that the core mechanical and structural components have remained stable over the last two years. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 97,092 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,711 miles per year. The data shows a period of low usage between December 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered only 255 miles in eight months, followed by an increase of over 10,000 miles in the following year. While the low total mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals and brake lines due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, as the record shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related faults, including uneven wear in January 2023 and a structural failure in 2025. These issues suggest the previous owner may have neglected basic maintenance or alignment checks until an MOT failure occurred. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes for perished rubber and the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as these areas are prone to issues on older Nissans that have not been driven frequently. Check the brake calipers for seizing or surface pitting to ensure the low mileage has not caused the braking system to degrade through lack of use.
