2006 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · LY06 CCN

The 2022‑08‑17 MOT at 118,619 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s current condition meets the DVSA roadworthiness standard and that the maintenance record has been stable since the previous 2021 test. All preceding tests from 2019 onward have also passed without major defects, suggesting consistent upkeep. At 20 years old, the 118,619‑mile odometer equates to roughly 5,931 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a vehicle of this age and implying extended periods of limited use or standing. The mileage trajectory shows relatively steady growth, yet the jump from 71,550 miles in May 2015 to 79,386 miles in May 2016 represents an increase of 7,836 miles in a single year, and the 2014 duplicate test at the same mileage suggests possible re‑inspection rather than new usage. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring mechanical issues flagged in the history: the front drive‑shaft bearing wear and flexible coupling deterioration observed in 2021 and 2020, the fluctuating front service brake and binding rear calipers noted in 2021, and the persistent exhaust smoke advisory from 2021. Inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and structural chassis for corrosion or fatigue is essential, as is a thorough check of tyre tread, wiper blade condition, and the functionality of all lamps and mirrors. Any signs of binding calipers, worn drive‑shaft components, or structural rust should be addressed before purchase.
