2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · LL09 XCK

This 2009 Nissan Note has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past five years, with the most recent MOT test conducted just over three years ago on 2023-09-22 at 148,000 miles. The vehicle passed without any recorded defects or advisories, though the lack of a 2024 or 2025 test raises immediate questions about whether the owner has prioritised compliance with annual testing requirements. The absence of any failures or advisories in the available record suggests the vehicle has not experienced major mechanical or structural issues during this period, but the prolonged gap between tests—particularly without explanation—could indicate neglect or an assumption that the car remains roadworthy without formal verification. The recorded mileage of 154,589 miles over approximately 17 years equates to an average of around 9,093 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no obvious spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity in the available data, though the sparse MOT history means there’s no direct correlation between mileage and test outcomes. The most notable gap is the absence of a 2024 or 2025 test, which would have been due at 150,000 and 151,000 miles respectively. Without further context, it’s impossible to determine whether the vehicle has been driven regularly or left stationary, but the lack of advisories in prior tests suggests no immediate signs of accelerated wear from prolonged storage. Given the limited MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not captured in the MOT test. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—will require close examination for excessive play, corrosion, or leaks, as these are common failure points in a vehicle of this age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or driven in wet conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, must be inspected for signs of rust penetration or distortion, as these issues can compromise safety and handling. Finally, the exhaust system should be assessed for leaks or excessive corrosion, as this is often overlooked but can lead to failing emissions tests or noise complaints. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee these areas are currently sound.
