2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · MA09 DWP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record over the last two years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 130,899 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred in May 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet since then, suggesting that any previous issues were addressed and rectified prior to the subsequent passing tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a lightly used seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 24,325 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The interval of 10,225 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflects regular driving habits rather than long periods of stationary neglect. This low mileage generally reduces the wear on drivetrain components and suspension, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age-related failure, despite the clean MOT history. Given the vehicle's age, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as MOT tests only flag rust affecting structural integrity. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these perish over time regardless of low mileage. Since the record does not show recurring brake issues, manually verify for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs to ensure the system remains as effective as the test data suggests.
