2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · NA56 ABX

The 2006 Nissan Note carries a failed MOT outcome from the 28 November 2025 examination at 87,489 miles, with the official record listing no defects. This latest result extends a recurring pattern from the 2023 and 2024 cycles where the vehicle first failed then passed within days, each time with no faults documented. The maintenance trend appears stable in mechanical terms yet irregular administratively, showing no worsening wear across the supplied history. Mileage accrual remains low for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The record shows 81,326 miles at the 9 November 2023 failure, rising to 84,311 miles at the 13 November 2024 failure and 87,489 miles by the November 2025 failure, equating to roughly 3,000 miles per annum. Short gaps between fail and pass tests reveal minimal movement: only 18 miles separated the November 2023 fail and pass, and 14 miles the November 2024 pair. Such limited use suggests prolonged standing periods, which can conceal corrosion or seized suspension components not captured in a static test. A buyer must commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs given the age and the unexplained failures. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm sound condition; previous owners cleared the failures swiftly without listed defects, implying either minor non-mechanical rectifications or incomplete reporting. Verify the precise failure reasons via DVSA certificates before purchase, and scrutinise exhaust emissions and binding calipers that may develop from low-mileage inactivity.
