2010 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · SB10 OLO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 17 July 2025 at 79,309 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory regarding critical mechanical components. While the car failed the test just two days prior due to excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bushes and a ball joint, these defects were addressed immediately to achieve the subsequent pass. The previous history of a minor exhaust leak in 2023 suggests that the owner is reactive in addressing MOT-related failures once they are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, moving from 63,491 miles in 2023 to 70,769 miles in 2024 and reaching 79,309 miles by 2025. This low mileage generally implies less strain on the engine and drivetrain, though the low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals over time, which likely explains the premature wear of the suspension bushes noted in the recent tests. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring failures of the nearside front arm and ball joint between 2024 and 2025 indicate that these components are a point of weakness for this specific vehicle. Check for any play in the ball joints and ensure the recent repairs were executed with high-quality parts. Additionally, given the age of the car and the low mileage, inspect the chassis for surface corrosion and verify the condition of the wiper blades, as the wipers previously caused a failure in 2024.
