2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · OV59 LSD

This Nissan Note demonstrates a consistent record of roadworthiness, characterized by a lack of chronic failures or recurring defects over the last four years of testing. The most recent inspection on 18 August 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, suggesting a stable mechanical condition. The only deviation from a perfect record occurred in August 2024, where a minor suspension advisory was noted but did not impede the vehicle's pass status. With a recorded mileage of 69,041 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 4,061 miles per year across its seventeen-year lifespan. This low annual accumulation indicates the car has been used sparingly, which typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and internal engine components. However, such a usage profile often shifts the mechanical risk from frictional wear to the degradation of rubber and plastic components due to age and environmental exposure. Attention should be paid to the front suspension, specifically the offside front suspension arm pin and rear pan bush which were flagged as worn in 2024. Although the 2025 test was clean, it is important to verify if this component was replaced or if the wear has simply remained below the threshold for failure. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or when initiating sharp turns at low speeds. Ensure the steering feels centered and there is no unexpected pull to one side, as worn suspension bushes can affect wheel alignment and tyre wear. A thorough physical inspection of the underbody is advised to ensure no corrosion has developed during periods of low usage, and the brake pedal should be checked for a firm response without judder, confirming the calipers and discs remain free from binding.
