2006 Nissan Cube 1.4L Petrol · NT55 LLV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant and deteriorating, with a clear trend of worsening condition since the most recent test in June 2024. The tester flagged a severe fluid leak in the rear hydraulic brake cylinder, which has persisted through the 2023 and 2022 tests, indicating a failure to address a critical hydraulic system issue. The brake pipe also corroded and covered in grease in the 2024 test, a condition that has not been corrected since that date, suggesting the owner has not taken proactive measures to address this structural risk. The mileage accumulation of 140,758 miles over roughly two decades aligns with the vehicle's age, suggesting that the owner has maintained sufficient fuel economy to allow for such significant wear without interruption. However, the data is not clean; the rapid mileage increase is mirrored by frequent MOT failures, specifically in the 2023 and 2022 tests, which highlight that the vehicle has been driven at a speed that caused the engine and drivetrain to fail. The lack of any recorded maintenance or oil changes between the 2024 and 2022 tests suggests that the owner may have been complacent with routine servicing, allowing wear on the engine and transmission to accumulate. Given the recurring faults in the brake system, hydraulic fluid leaks, and structural components like the inner drive shaft joint and rear child seat, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the brake discs, brake pads, and suspension bushings. The brake pipe corrosion and lack of a proper seal in the 2024 test indicate that the vehicle requires immediate professional intervention. The structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the rear child seat, which was not inspected in the 2024 test, must also be verified to rule out hidden structural defects or corrosion that could compromise the vehicle's safety.
