2006 Nissan Cube 1.5L Petrol · WO06 CBV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 95,879 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a leaking nearside rear shock absorber and a distorted nearside rear road wheel. This marks a shift from the clean record seen in 2025, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they reach failure thresholds or show visible wear. At approximately twenty years of age, the recorded mileage of 95,879 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern often correlates with vehicles sitting for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the car covered 8,173 miles, yet the failure in May 2025 due to critically worn-out tyres and thin front brake pads indicates that basic consumable upkeep was neglected until the MOT inspection interval. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension system to check for further oil leaks from the nearside rear shock and to assess the integrity of the distorted rear wheel. The previous distortion of the wheel may indicate a past impact, which necessitates a check of the wheel geometry and steering components. Given the history of failing on thin brake pads and tyres, the remaining life of the current braking set and rubber should be verified, as the previous owner clearly allowed these items to reach the absolute legal limit before replacement.
