2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · LM09 FPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 3 2026 with 184,653 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, although a single mechanical failure in March 2025 necessitated a repair to a worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. The subsequent pass just two days after that failure indicates that the owner was proactive in addressing immediate safety concerns once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 10,611 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than periods of neglect or excessive strain. This consistent use generally benefits the engine health and suspension components, though the total mileage of over 184,000 miles places significant high-mileage wear items on all rubber bushings and mechanical seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the previous failure of the anti-roll bar joint suggests other related components may be reaching the end of their functional life. Given the high mileage, specific attention must be paid to play in ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushes which often do not trigger MOT failures until they are dangerously worn. The recent clean record also warrants a check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as these are the most common areas of degradation for this generation of Nissan Note after seventeen years of service.
