2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · DG06 BVH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed the March 2026 test at 115,891 miles, it failed just one day prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring and multiple tyre defects. The transition from a clean pass in 2025 to these mechanical failures suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced by a testing failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At approximately 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 115,891 miles represents a low average of roughly 5,800 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent between the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the car covered 1,949 miles in twelve months. However, the low annual mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking of the rear tyre noted in the March 2026 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry. The record shows a worn offside front suspension arm bush noted in April 2024, followed by a broken coil spring in March 2026. These recurring issues in the front end suggest components are reaching the end of their service life. You should also check for uneven tyre wear, as the most recent failure flagged the inner edges of the front tyres, which typically points to an alignment issue or worn steering components that have not yet been rectified.
