2007 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · SB56 KXA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 15 May 2026, at 128,062 miles. However, the immediate maintenance trend shows a sharp decline in standards after a period of clean records. While the car passed without defects in June 2024 and June 2025, the consecutive failures in May 2026 indicate a sudden neglect of basic upkeep. This suggests the current owner only addressed issues upon failing testing, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage history appears inconsistent over the vehicle's nineteen-year life. Although the car averages roughly 6,740 miles per year, the record shows a significant jump of 48,171 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, which is physically impossible given the dates provided. Conversely, the mileage dropped from 157,227 miles to 109,056 miles between the 2024 and 2025 test dates. This erratic data suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been used very sparingly for periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for lingering mechanical issues identified during the May 2026 failures. The tester flagged an excessively worn offside front upper MacPherson strut top mount and a damaged nearside steering ball joint dust cover. These faults indicate the front suspension is reaching the end of its functional life. Furthermore, the repeated failures related to emissions and lambda readings outside specified limits point toward a failing oxygen sensor or a catalytic converter that requires professional diagnostic attention to ensure the engine remains efficient. The battery mounting was noted as insecure in May 2026, which poses a risk of vibration damage to the electrical system. While the headlamp lenses and stop lamps were replaced to pass the final test, the condition of the lenses suggests long-term exposure or impact damage. Given the age of the Nissan and the erratic mileage patterns, a thorough physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe is essential before proceeding a purchase.
