2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · SC09 CCU

This Nissan Note presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 68,367 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test on 12 March 2026, the lack of recorded defects for that failure is atypical for DVSA records but suggests the issues were rectified quickly before the successful retest thirteen days later. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,022 miles per year. The distance covered between the February 2024 test (65,391 miles) and the March 2026 test (68,367 miles) shows a consistent, low-use pattern of approximately 1,500 miles per year over the last two years. This suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short urban journeys. Low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation that is not caused by wear, but by inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as these components can seize when not used regularly. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be checked for perishing or cracking due to age rather than mileage. The absence of any advisories regarding structural corrosion or exhaust emissions across the 2023 to 2026 records is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this vintage. However, given the low annual usage, verifying the condition of the battery and ensuring the engine oil has been changed regardless of mileage is recommended to confirm the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the minimum MOT requirements.
