2010 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · OY60 LNH

A pattern of intermittent component wear is the primary mechanical characteristic of this vehicle, following a period of clean records in 2023 and 2024 before a tyre advisory appeared in the latest test on 05 December 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status throughout its recorded history, the 2022 inspection revealed a cluster of advisories involving the braking system, suspension, and tyres. This suggests that while the car avoids major failures, specific consumables and wear items require periodic monitoring to prevent them from escalating into MOT failures. The recorded mileage of 111,845 miles against a 2010 registration indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,990 miles. This represents a relatively low annual accumulation for a vehicle of this age, which typically implies less frequent long-distance motorway running and potentially more urban or short-trip driving. Mechanically, this level of usage means that while drivetrain components may have lower total mileage, other parts such as the starter motor, battery, and various rubber bushes may have experienced more frequent cycles of use or environmental degradation due to shorter operating temperatures. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension, given the specific advisories noted in 2022 regarding pitted front brake discs, thin inner pads, and nearside front suspension arm ball joint play. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate play in the ball joints or suspension linkages. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal for any unusual vibrations or judder under deceleration, which can be a symptom of the disc surface irregularities previously flagged. The most recent advisory concerning a tyre worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge requires immediate physical inspection. Check the tread depth across the entire width of the tyre, not just in the centre, to ensure there is no uneven wear caused by incorrect tyre pressure or alignment issues. If the tyre is indeed wearing excessively on the edge, this may indicate a need for a wheel alignment check to prevent premature wear on any newly fitted tyres.
