2010 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · WF59 XFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 46,583 miles passed with only minor cosmetic defects related to headlamp lenses. This follows a failure in early 2025 where a fractured nearside coil spring and a worn front tyre were identified, suggesting the owner addressed critical mechanical faults only after they were flagged by the MOT tester. At 46,583 miles, this 16-year-old Nissan Note has averaged fewer than 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low usage, with approximately 4,600 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation and dry-rot. The long intervals between tests suggest the car may sit for extended periods, which can lead to hidden corrosion or brake fluid degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the fractured nearside coil spring in 2025 indicates that these parts may be reaching the end of their service life. The recurring advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit across 2023 and 2025 suggest poor alignment settings or a tendency to replace consumables only when they fail. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or surface rust due to lack of use.
