2007 Nissan Cube 1.5L Petrol · NM56 HDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a deteriorating trend, with the most recent inspection failing in October 2025 at 181,229 miles. This failure on the nearside front tyre, which resulted in a crack or perishing, suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped prior to this test, as the tyre has been subjected to significant stress. The second test in October 2024, which passed at 168,467 miles, indicates that the tyre wear pattern has stabilized, but the underlying structural integrity of the suspension has degraded. The brake pad wear on the front and nearside front tyres in the 2024 test confirms that the braking system has experienced consistent wear, a sign of a failing mechanical condition rather than a simple consumable failure. The mileage accumulation of 181,229 miles over approximately nine and a half years is consistent with the vehicle's age, yet the data reveals a distinct gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests where the driver did not record mileage between October 2023 and October 2024. This lack of data points to a period of inactivity or potential wear accumulation that has not been addressed, contributing to the worsening condition of the suspension and braking components. The overall pattern shows that while the vehicle is currently safe, the mechanical risks are increasing due to the lack of proactive maintenance during the interim years. To ensure long-term roadworthiness, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to evaluate the structural integrity of the suspension bushings and coil springs, the condition of the brake discs, and the wear on the exhaust emissions. The history reveals that the suspension has been subjected to repeated stress, which may indicate that the bushings are approaching the limit of their normal lifespan. Similarly, the brake pads and discs have been worn thin, suggesting that the brake system is not in optimal condition. Any rust or corrosion found on the chassis or undercarriage would further confirm that the vehicle's structural integrity has been compromised, as the history shows no signs of structural rust in the 2023 or 2022 tests. The buyer should also verify that the brakes have been regularly inspected and maintained, as the 2024 and 2025 records show that the brakes have been tested for wear without the vehicle being driven frequently enough to warrant a more frequent check.
