2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · NJ61 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 67,335 miles returning a clean pass with no defects. This follows a period of minor mechanical advisories between 2022 and 2024, suggesting that previous issues regarding consumables and suspension components have been addressed. The absence of defects in the latest inspection indicates the car has moved past a phase of accumulating minor wear-and-tear faults. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,489 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual usage rather than long periods of total inactivity. Between October 2020 and October 2025, the odometer progressed from 46,644 to 67,335 miles, representing a steady annual increase of roughly 4,000 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used for light, regular commuting rather than heavy long-distance driving, which typically preserves mechanical components but can lead to age-related degradation in rubber parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of worn lower suspension arm bushes, specifically flagged in both 2022 and 2023. While the 2025 test was clear, these components are prone to degradation on low-mileage cars that sit for extended periods. The 2022 test also highlighted pitted brake discs and thinning pads, so verifying the current thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs is necessary to ensure these were replaced during the intervening years. The record also indicates intermittent issues with tyre perish and registration plate deterioration. The 2023 test noted cracking on the nearside rear tyre, a common symptom of age-related rubber hardening in low-use vehicles. Checking the manufacture dates on all four tyres is advisable to ensure they are not nearing the end of their structural life despite having sufficient tread. Finally, the 2018 failure involving a fractured coil spring highlights a need to inspect the entire suspension setup for any signs of corrosion or component fatigue.
