2010 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · MA60 MFX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 123,084 miles passed with only minor advisories related to tyre degradation and an indicator, previous records show a pattern of addressing faults only after they cause failures. The trend appears stable in terms of passing tests, yet the recurring nature of mechanical wear suggests that components are being pushed toward their service limits. At 123,084 miles, this 16-year-old Nissan averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK domestic use for its age. The data shows consistent usage, with a 4,200-mile interval recorded between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,000 miles over the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and seals despite the noted issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The record flags worn front suspension arm bushes and ball joint play across the 2023 and 2024 tests, indicating significant wear on the front-end geometry. Furthermore, the front brake discs progressed from a worn advisory in 2023 to a "significantly and obviously worn" failure in late 2024. The presence of a non-excessive oil leak noted in 2024 also warrants close visual scrutiny to determine if it originates from the engine cover gasket or a more critical internal seal. The 2025 advisories regarding perished tyres on the offside front and rear indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. You should check the sidewalls for deep cracking and ensure the tyres are replaced soon. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of suspension wear, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion is essential to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised alongside the mechanical components.
