2008 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · WR58 FSU

The 2008 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 27 May 2025 at 96,868 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no failures with recorded faults across the five available entries from 2022 to 2025, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. A same-day failed then passed result on 27 May 2025 at identical mileage suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, as no defects were listed on either certificate. Annual mileage sits low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle at roughly 5,382 miles per year, with the record climbing from 86,946 miles on 23 May 2022 to 96,868 miles by 27 May 2025. The annual increments are modest: 3,629 miles in 2023, 3,020 in 2024, and 3,273 in 2025. Such light use over a long period implies the car spent intervals stationary, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and shallow corrosion in hidden sills even when MOT passes show clean. The absence of advisories across every test means the DVSA record gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions to chase. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the arches and subframe, since standing vehicles accrue rust the MOT tester may not record until it breaches the prescribed limits. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and underbody for age-related degradation not captured by a pass with no defects.
