2007 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · NG07 JLX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a fluctuating trend regarding mechanical components and structural attention. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 66,405 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for incorrect headlamp aim, the previous year showed a period of significant mechanical neglect. The October 2024 failure highlighted multiple defects related to the suspension and bodywork, suggesting that repairs are only addressed when a test fails rather than through a proactive maintenance schedule. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,405 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low usage pattern typically reduces internal wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion. Between the 2023 test at 63,874 miles and the 2024 test at 65,328 miles, the car covered only 1,454 miles, which supports the theory that the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and subframe, as the 2024 record flagged excessively worn bushes on the rear front subframe and lower arms. Although these were not noted in the subsequent pass, the presence of corrosion on the shock absorber casings indicates an environment where moisture retention is likely. The corrosion noted on the offside front wheel arch also requires close scrutiny to ensure that rust has not progressed into the structural members, which is a common failure point for vehicles of this age and mileage. The state of the offside rear door catch should also be checked for mechanical security, as it was previously identified as a point of deterioration.
