2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · EY56 ORU

The 2006 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 January 2026 at 84,089 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries a clean advisory sheet on every test, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust emission issues. A curious pattern emerges in the failure entries logged immediately before the passes on 19 January 2026 and 4 February 2025, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for either failure. This suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than genuine mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 84,089 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to a low average of roughly 4,204 miles per year. The odometer moved from 67,221 on 7 February 2024 to 74,908 on 4 February 2025, then to 84,089 by 19 January 2026. That is about 7,700 miles added in the final year, double the prior annual rate but still modest. The low overall figure implies either light commuting use or prolonged periods off the road, which can allow perished rubber components and seized calipers to develop unseen. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as the MOT system captures only visible corrosion at test time. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and confirm brake discs are free from lip wear after the low-use intervals. The twin failure-with-no-defect entries warrant a request for the full DVSA test certificates to rule out omitted minor consumable items such as tyre tread or wiper blades.
