2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · WJ59 NTC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive pattern of front-end component failure. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 111,060 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior for excessively worn nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes alongside pitted brake discs. This suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance on wearing parts. At 111,060 miles over 17 years, the car averages approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. The record shows steady annual testing, with roughly 13,500 miles covered between the December 2023 and December 2025 tests. This mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity stress, yet the recurring failures on minor items like wipers and bulbs indicate that basic upkeep and proactive checks may have been neglected prior to official inspections. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front geometry, as the suspension arm bushes and ball joints have appeared in both the 2023 and 2025 records. These recurring issues can lead to uneven tyre wear and poor handling if not replaced in pairs. The front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in late 2025; the buyer should verify the remaining thickness and surface condition to ensure they are not nearing their limit. Given the vehicle's age and the history of suspension wear, a thorough underside check for structural corrosion is also essential, as the record does not explicitly detail the integrity of the sills or mounting points.
