2011 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · MV11 AEF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on March 28, 2026, 105,639 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of immediate failure followed by rapid rectification. The car failed its inspections in both May 2025 and March 2026 shortly before passing, suggesting that the owner addresses mechanical issues only when necessitated by legal compliance rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. This reflects a reactive approach to upkeep. The mileage profile is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 96,856 miles and the May 2025 test at 101,882 miles, the car covered 5,026 miles, with another 3,757 miles recorded in the ten months leading up to the latest test. This low annual mileage suggests light use, which typically reduces the wear on age-sensitive components like rubber bushings, suspension mounts, and brake lines despite the overall age. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage to check for structural corrosion, which is a common concern for Nissans of this era. Given the history of failing and then passing, specific attention must be paid to the braking system and suspension geometry to ensure the repairs made prior to the passes were robust rather than temporary fixes. Check for fluid leaks or signs of perished rubber, as the low mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of parts that age when not being used frequently.
