2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · WN61 VLB

This Nissan Note presents a stable and clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 82,021 miles passing without any defects. The absence of advisories or failures in the last four tests—including the two consecutive passes in June 2024 and June 2023—indicates consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. The only anomaly is the failed test on 6 June 2022, which lacks recorded defects, suggesting a possible administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. Given the lack of recurring faults, the vehicle appears to have been maintained adequately, though the buyer should verify whether the 2022 failure was resolved without documented repairs. The mileage accumulation of roughly 5,468 miles per year over 15 years is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, implying either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage jumps—from 60,579 miles in June 2022 to 67,145 miles in June 2023 (6,566 miles in a year) and then to 75,252 miles in June 2024 (8,107 miles)—suggest sporadic but not excessive driving. The most recent 6,769-mile increase between June 2024 and May 2025 aligns with the broader trend, reinforcing the likelihood of light, intermittent use. This pattern may reduce wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or brake pads, but it also raises questions about fluid health—oils, brake fluid, and coolant—if the car has sat unused for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of fluid levels and condition, particularly brake and coolant systems, given the irregular usage. The suspension should be checked for stiffness or uneven wear, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation in bushes or coil springs. While the MOT history shows no brake-related advisories, binding calipers or uneven pad wear could still exist, so a test drive with close attention to braking performance is essential. Structural integrity should also be verified, especially around wheel arches and sills, as corrosion can develop slowly even with minimal driving. Tyre condition is less of a concern given the recent MOT pass, but tread depth and sidewall cracks should still be confirmed. The absence of defects in the last four tests is reassuring, but hidden issues in under-maintained areas remain a risk.
