2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · WV09 CXH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the test in February 2026 at 52,937 miles, it had failed just ten days prior at 52,856 miles due to multiple safety-critical issues including seat belt failures and incorrect headlamp alignment. The presence of numerous advisories on the recent pass suggests the owner is only addressing faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,114 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 49,530 miles and February 2026 at 52,937 miles, the car covered only 3,407 miles. This low usage frequency often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the 2026 record flagging perishing and cracking on all four tyres. The DOT 2215 indicates these tyres are over eleven years old and structurally compromised due to age despite potentially low tread depth. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the tester flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes in the February 2026 test. These components are showing signs of wear that will eventually affect handling if not replaced. The front brake discs are also noted as worn, which will require replacement soon to ensure consistent braking performance. Given the low mileage and age, the vehicle should also be checked for surface corrosion on the chassis and brake lines, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from more oxidation than high-mileage counterparts.
