2007 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · NA57 ABZ

The latest MOT, conducted on 5 August 2025 at 63 085 miles, passed with no defects recorded. This result, only a year and two months old, suggests that any previous issues have been addressed, signalling an improving maintenance trend. Earlier tests show a pattern of wear in the front suspension arms and wishbone bushes, an occasional coil‑spring fracture in 2024, and persistent tyre cracking, but these have not escalated into critical failures. The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the history indicates ongoing attention to suspension and tyre components. The mileage profile is remarkably low for a 19‑year‑old car. From 2015 to 2025 the vehicle accumulated 16 026 miles, averaging about 3 320 miles per year. Annual mileage spikes are absent; the increments between tests are modest, ranging from 254 miles between 2024 and 2025 to 1 635 miles between 2019 and 2020. The consistent, low‑usage pattern explains the relatively light wear, yet it also means that components such as suspension bushings and tyres have not seen the heavy use that would typically accelerate failure. A prospective buyer should focus on the components that have repeatedly appeared in the MOT record. Inspect the front lower suspension arm pins and bushings for wear or damage, and verify that the front wishbone bushes are intact; these have been the source of multiple failures. Check the front coil springs for cracks or fractures, especially the off‑side spring that failed in 2024. Brake discs should be examined for pitting and wear, although no serious weakening has been recorded. Tyres must be inspected for cracking or tread loss, as tyre damage has been a recurring issue. Additionally, verify the battery connection, headlamp alignment, and that the engine MIL indicator is not illuminated. Finally, ensure that the registration plate remains legible and that the vehicle’s chassis shows no corrosion or structural compromise. Overall, the car is currently roadworthy and shows an improving maintenance record, but the repeated suspension and tyre faults warrant careful inspection to confirm that corrective work has been completed and that no latent defects remain.
