2010 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · LC10 ADU

The 2010 Nissan Note remains roadworthy as of the most recent test, passing cleanly on 2025-06-02 at 89,834 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the last three years, with the vehicle clearing every examination once presented for retest. Prior to the current pass, the March 2024 and March 2023 entries each show a fail followed by a pass on the same or next day at identical mileages, yet the tester logged no defects on those failure certificates, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Odometer readings show light use for a sixteen-year-old car. The record moves from 82,197 miles at the March 2023 test to 86,981 miles by February 2024, then 89,834 miles in June 2025. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles in the first span and only 2,853 miles across the following fifteen months, well below the implied annual average of 5,615. The DVSA history is sparse, with just five entries and no advisories or recorded wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion, so the data gives little insight into consumable condition beyond confirming the car was not flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low mileage combined with the unexplained same-day fails in 2023 and 2024 warrants checking the brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism for seizing after standing periods. The tester noted no structural integrity concerns, but exhaust emissions and underbody corrosion should be examined closely on a ramp, as Nissan vehicles of this era commonly develop rust on sills and subframes where MOT advisories were absent. Given the two anomaly fails carried no defects, previous keepers likely presented the car without resolving a paperwork or identification matter rather than skipping upkeep. The absence of recurring advisories suggests no worsening mechanical pattern, though the long idle stretches implied by the mileage mean rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyres may have aged rather than worn, and deserve hands-on assessment before purchase.
