2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · VE59 TZZ

A recurring pattern of wear on safety-critical components defines this vehicle's recent history, culminating in a pass on 8 October 2026 that carries multiple advisories for the front braking system and tyres. While the vehicle has a history of passing, it has suffered dangerous failures regarding tyre integrity in 2023 and a major failure of a front coil spring in 2025, indicating a trend toward increasing wear on consumables and suspension components. The recorded mileage of 79,131 miles is low for a seventeen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,655 miles per year. This low annual accumulation often correlates with the types of defects seen in this record, where components fail due to age and degradation rather than high-mileage wear. Specifically, the previous records of perishing tyres and the current pitting of the brake discs are typical symptoms of a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary or seen light usage. Immediate attention is required for the front braking system, as both front discs are recorded as worn, pitted, or scored, and the pads are wearing thin. During a test drive, listen for grinding noises during deceleration and feel for any judder or pulsation through the brake pedal, which would confirm the extent of the disc pitting. The offside front tyre is also nearing its legal limit and should be inspected for uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues. Given the 2025 failure of the nearside front coil spring, the suspension should be closely monitored for stability. Listen for metallic knocks or clunks when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, and check for an uneven stance when the vehicle is stationary. The history of dangerous tyre failures due to exposed cords and perishing rubber suggests that all remaining tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and age-related degradation.
