2008 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · ND08 XAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of recurring brake-related issues. The most recent test in February 2022 at 125,684 miles passed without defects, although the tester noted a slight fluctuation in the front brakes. This follows a progression from the 2020 failure where both front brake discs were pitted and scored, suggesting that while the vehicle remains operational, the braking components are reaching their natural service limit. At 125,684 miles over 18 years, the Nissan Note averages approximately 7,000 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical usage for a family car of this age. The record shows a steady accumulation pattern, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2019 and 2020 tests. However, there is a significant gap in data following the February 2022 test. Given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is now overdue by over four years, and the current mileage is unknown based on the official records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system due to the history of pitted discs and fluctuating performance. The buyer should check the thickness of the pads and look for signs of sticking calipers or uneven rotor surfaces. The 2020 failure regarding the inoperative nearside rear parking brake also requires verification that the handbrake mechanism and cables are adjusted and not corroded. Given the vehicle's age, a close inspection for structural corrosion on the rear sills and suspension mounting points is also essential, as these are common areas of failure on this model.
