2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · NG09 ABV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward age-related component degradation. The most recent test in November 2025 at 112,206 miles passed the vehicle despite an advisory for a corroded nearside front coil spring. This follows a test in January 2025 where a noisy nearside rear wheel bearing was noted. While the car has passed its inspections, the emergence of these mechanical faults suggests that suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. At 17 years old, the recorded 112,206 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,600 miles per year. This low mileage is consistent with light local use, which explains the relatively gradual wear. Between January 2024 and November 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 3,100 miles, indicating a period of infrequent operation. However, long periods of standing or low mileage can lead to the hardening of rubber components and accelerated corrosion of metal surfaces, which aligns with the suspension-related issues seen in the recent history. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and underbody-related components. The failure in January 2023 for excessively worn front suspension arm bushes shows that the vehicle has previously required significant attention, and the current advisory on the corroded nearside front coil spring requires close monitoring to prevent a structural failure. The nearside rear wheel bearing flagged in early 2025 should also be checked for any audible noise or play, as these components typically progress until they require replacement if not addressed early.
