Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent inc
When viewing this Nissan Note, prioritise checking the recent repairs made following the November 2025 MOT failure. Ensure that the front brake discs, the offside front lower suspension arm bush, and all identified lighting issues (central rear stop lamp, position lamps, and registration plate lamp) have been professionally rectified with accompanying receipts.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance, particularly regarding tyres, as the 2024 MOT record highlighted four tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Given the vehicle's age and the 1.6L petrol engine, check for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive exhaust smoke, though these are not explicitly noted in the MOT history.
The 1598cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group for a vehicle of this age. Fuel economy for a 2006 Note is generally acceptable for urban driving, though costs will depend on the driver's style and annual mileage.
Maintenance costs for this model often include items like suspension components and brake parts, which are noted as common failure points in the aggregate data. You should budget for regular servicing of the 1.6L engine and periodic replacement of tyres and brake components. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on usage.
Specifically inspect the front braking system; the 2025 MOT recorded both front brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. You should also examine the front suspension, specifically the offside front lower suspension arm, as the MOT history noted a worn pin or bush in this area.
Check all exterior lighting thoroughly. The most recent failure included the central rear stop lamp, both front position lamps, and the rear registration plate lamp. Ensure all bulbs and potentially the housing units are in full working order. Finally, check the condition of the headlamp lenses, as the 2024 record indicated product on the lens that could affect light output.
This 2006 silver Nissan Note has covered 102,337 miles since its first registration in October 2006. While it maintained a clean MOT record between 2022 and 2023, the most recent 2025 test resulted in a failure involving several lighting defects and suspension/braking issues. The vehicle's mileage has increased significantly in the last two years, rising from 72,277 to over 102,000 miles.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failure points being suspension arms, headlamps, and brake pads.
