2007 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · NG57 VKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend reveals a persistent failure to address recurring suspension defects. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 170,800 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for incorrect headlamp aim and the same worn suspension arm bush. The fact that the offside front suspension issue appeared as an advisory or failure across three consecutive testing periods suggests the previous owner only performed the minimum repairs necessary to pass inspection rather than executing preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the 2007 Nissan Note averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 9,200 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test. This steady mileage accumulation indicates the car has not sat for long periods, which places constant stress on rubber-based components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain parts. A buyer must specifically inspect the offside front suspension assembly, as the repeated flagging of the arm pin or bush indicates significant wear that may soon become a safety failure. The headlamp alignment should also be verified manually to ensure the beam was correctly adjusted after the failure in the late 2025 test. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough physical check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is essential, as these areas are not covered in the provided MOT history but are common failure points for this model.
