2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · SJ09 XHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement following several minor mechanical failures. The most recent test conducted in October 2022 at 113,448 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car was maintained to a passing standard at that time. While earlier history shows issues with lighting and tyres, the lack of recent advisories suggests the previous owner addressed identified faults effectively before sale. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,673 miles per year. There was a gap of 11,127 miles between June 2020 and June 2021, followed by a 2,028-mile interval between June 2021 and October 2022. This lower annual mileage in recent years suggests light use which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components but can increase the risk of rubber component degradation or brake corrosion due to longer periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lighting system and alignment since the 2020 failure highlighted multiple issues with headlamp aim and registration plate lamps. Although the 2021 failure was limited to a structural tyre defect on the offside front, the buyer should still check the remaining tyres for similar bulges or sidewall damage. Given the age of the Nissan Note, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushes is essential, as these areas were not highlighted in the recent MOT records but are common failure points for vehicles of this era.
