2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · NH58 CVF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted in November 2024 at 83,968 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. Following a single failure in early 2022, the vehicle has passed three consecutive inspections without any advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed immediate issues and subsequently maintained the car effectively. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between October 2022 and November 2023, where the car covered 14,119 miles in just thirteen months. This contrasts with the period between March 2022 and October 2022, which saw only 1,325 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of stationary use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and oxidation of brake fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than high mileage. Despite the clean recent records, the 2022 failure at 59,776 miles suggests that specific components once required attention. Inspect the underbody chassis and suspension mounting points for surface corrosion or structural rust, which tends to accumulate over two decades regardless of distance driven. Additionally, check the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking and examine the suspension bushes, as these often perish long before the tread reaches its legal limit on low-mileage vehicles.
