2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · B12 GEY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-26 confirms it remains roadworthy, though the record reveals an unusual pattern of two consecutive failures in December 2023 and December 2024 before passing—each time without recorded defects. This suggests either a test centre error, a vehicle in a transitional state between owners, or a minor oversight in documentation. The final pass in December 2025 is current, but the irregularities warrant scrutiny of whether the car has undergone consistent maintenance or if critical components were overlooked during those failed tests. The recorded mileage of 126,075 miles over approximately 20 years equates to an average of around 6,300 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no visible gaps in mileage between tests, nor any sudden spikes that would indicate neglect or aggressive driving. However, the lack of advisories or defects in any of the five recorded tests means no mechanical trends are visible—either the car has been well-maintained, or issues were not severe enough to trigger a fail. The absence of pre-MOT service records makes it impossible to confirm whether routine upkeep was performed, but the mileage pattern itself does not raise immediate red flags. Given the absence of defects in the latest pass, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—since these are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The repeated failures without defects suggest a possibility of binding rear brakes or worn brake discs, so caliper movement and disc thickness should be checked. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as this is a critical failure risk for a vehicle of this age. Tyre condition, despite no MOT mention, should be verified, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent.
