2010 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · PY10 FBO

The 2010 Nissan Note demonstrates a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a flawless pass at its most recent MOT. On 17 June 2025, at 106,163 miles, the tester recorded zero defects and zero advisories. This clean bill of health indicates the vehicle currently meets all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards, reflecting diligent upkeep by the previous keeper. The mileage pattern aligns perfectly with typical domestic use for a vehicle of this age. Between the October 2021 test at 72,707 miles and the June 2025 test at 106,163 miles, the Note accumulated 33,456 miles over roughly three years and eight months, averaging approximately 6,600 miles annually. The most recent annual interval, covering 6,711 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, confirms steady but light usage. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of inactivity or severe neglect. Despite the pristine MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on age-related deterioration rather than recurring mechanical failures. At sixteen years old and 106,163 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs will have endured significant cyclic loading, so check for cracking or sagging. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for corrosion and binding, particularly if the car covers short urban trips. Examine the underbody and sills thoroughly for structural rust, as corrosion often develops between MOT intervals. While the exhaust emissions have passed previously, listen for any blow from the manifold or downpipe that could worsen under load.
