2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · HF06 NKM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 13 2025 at 123,679 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the owner successfully addressed multiple mechanical failures from the previous year. While the 2025 test initially failed due to a non-functional horn and a nearside wiper, the immediate pass just nine miles later indicates that the owner is willing to rectify safety-critical defects once they are flagged. At 123,679 miles over twenty years, the Nissan Note has averaged approximately 6,184 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 5,300 miles prior prior. This regularity suggests the car is used regularly rather than left sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the internal degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their inspection on the braking system, as the history reveals recurring issues. The records from 2023 and 2024 highlight pitted and scored brake discs across both axles, culminating in a failure in August 2024 for excessively fluctuating front brakes and imbalanced braking. Although these have since been serviced, a physical inspection should check for any remaining judder or ensure the new calipers are not binding. Additionally, one should verify the condition of the tyres, as 2023 advisories noted perishing and sidew damage on multiple tyres. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity and suspension components is also essential. While the recent MOT records do not flag significant corrosion, the history of minor consumable failures like tyres and wipers suggests the vehicle requires proactive attention to maintain its status. Ensure the horn and wiper motor function correctly now, as these were the most recent points of failure.
