2007 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · NG57 TVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 at 93,309 miles with no defects. The overall maintenance trend is inconsistent, characterized by a pattern of failing on simple electrical or lighting faults and then passing immediately after rectification. While the most recent two years show a clean bill of health upon passing, the history reveals a tendency to neglect basic consumables and lighting until the annual test forces a repair. The mileage is low for a 19 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,911 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and light, with the odometer moving from 61,604 miles in November 2016 to 93,309 miles by November 2025. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though it increases the likelihood of rubber components perishing due to age rather than friction. A buyer must scrutinize the structural integrity of the front wings and suspension mounting areas. The November 2022 test at 86,503 miles flagged excessive corrosion on the offside front inner suspension mounting, which significantly reduced structural strength. Although this was resolved for the pass, corrosion in these areas often returns or spreads. The history also shows a recurring struggle with suspension health, including fractured coil springs in November 2020 and worn ball joints in November 2018. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and fluid leaks. The record shows a history of worn brake discs and pads, as well as a binding rear brake in 2022. An oil leak was noted as non-excessive in November 2021 and again in October 2024. Because the SRS warning lamp also triggered a failure in October 2024, a technician should verify that the airbag system is fully operational and that the oil leak has been permanently sealed rather than simply monitored.
