2010 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · HG10 XAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive repair pattern rather than preventative upkeep. While it passed the test on 19 May 2026 at 146,135 miles, it suffered a failure just four days prior. This failure revealed a fractured offside front coil spring, a structural bulge in the offside front tyre, and a non-functional stop lamp. The presence of a broken spring and a worn front brake disc suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. At 146,135 miles over 16 years, the Nissan Note has averaged approximately 9,133 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a small car. The data shows steady annual progression, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and approximately 7,700 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the records from the 2024 and 2026 tests highlight recurring issues with uneven tyre wear and worn components. The 2024 failure noted multiple tyres at the legal limit with specific edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the front brake discs were flagged as worn in the 2026 test, requiring a physical check for thickness and pitting to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement. Given the previous advisory for an insecure battery in 2025, the buyer should also verify that the battery housing has been properly secured to prevent vibration-related damage.
