2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · SO09 AAX

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 June 2025 with 91,451 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum standards despite two recent test failures. While the record shows failures in June 2025 and August 2024, the immediate passes following these tests suggest that minor defects were identified and rectified quickly, rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical decline. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,379 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the July 2023 test at 60,668 miles and the August 2024 test at 65,034 miles, where the car covered only 4,366 miles in over thirteen months. However, the mileage increased sharply by 26,417 miles in the year leading up to the June 2025 test, indicating a recent shift toward much more frequent use. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation that low mileage might mask, such as perished rubber components, perished suspension bushes, or seized brake calipers. Given the recent surge in mileage, the drivetrain and tyres are now under greater stress than previously. It is also essential to check the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as vehicles of this era are prone to hidden rust regardless of the distance driven.
