2010 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · Y7 MDB

The 2025-11-18 MOT at 47,680 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Nissan Note is presently roadworthy; the maintenance trend has improved after the 2024 advisory on a corroded near-side front coil spring and worn front brake pads, with the latest test showing no further issues. The vehicle, a 2010 model, has covered 47,680 miles over 16 years, averaging roughly 2,980 miles per year, which is low for its age but the annual mileage increments from 2014 25,954 to 2025 47,680 demonstrate a steady, uninterrupted increase with no large gaps, indicating regular use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension and braking components that have shown recurring wear: inspect the near-side front coil spring and surrounding bushes for corrosion, examine the front brake pads and discs for thickness and any binding calipers, and verify tyre tread depth, especially given the 2016 advisory that the near-side rear tyre was close to the legal limit. Additional checks should include the functionality of all lamps, the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, and an assessment of structural integrity around the wheel arches, as earlier failures of rear position and stop lamps and the 2019 headlamp aim issue suggest potential neglect of lighting and alignment; the recent clean MOT indicates these areas are currently satisfactory, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden rust or worn suspension bushes.
