2007 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · NX07 SYP

The 2007 Nissan Note has a recent MOT failure on 2025-11-24, recorded at 71,533 miles, which highlights multiple critical issues. These include fractured and corroded coil springs, missing front wheel fixings, and severe headlamp light reduction. Brake pipes were corroded and covered in grease, while suspension bushes showed wear. These defects indicate significant corrosion and potential structural weaknesses, likely exacerbated by age and environmental exposure. A prior MOT on the same date recorded a pass with similar but less severe issues, such as corroded coil springs and brake pipes. This suggests the vehicle’s condition has deteriorated rapidly within months, with some defects worsening from "corroded" to "fractured" and "missing." The recurring corrosion on brake pipes and suspension components points to ongoing exposure to moisture or poor maintenance, which could compromise safety. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,533 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 3,765 miles annually, a low figure for its age. While this may imply infrequent use, it also raises concerns about long-term inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, rubber degradation, and fluid leaks. The presence of grease on brake pipes and perishing tyres further supports this, as stagnant vehicles are prone to such issues. The trend in MOT results shows a clear worsening of defects, particularly in suspension, braking, and structural components.
