2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · PY06 HKA

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 102,061 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-10-01 (96,998 miles) and 2023-09-13 (91,502 miles) also passed without issues, though a duplicate entry for 2023-09-13 shows a failure with no defects recorded. This suggests either a data inconsistency or a minor, unresolved fault. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last three years indicates consistent maintenance, but the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm resolution. The mileage of 102,061 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 5,103 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age. Gaps between tests—such as the 4,496-mile increase from 2022-08-09 (87,095 miles) to 2023-09-13 (91,502 miles)—suggest sporadic usage, which may lead to component degradation from inactivity. The steady progression of mileage since 2022 aligns with moderate use, but low annual figures could mask wear in systems like the timing belt or water pump, which degrade with age rather than distance. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often fail in older vehicles with infrequent use. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the car has been parked for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are critical, given the age, while the failed 2023 test—though unexplained—merits verification of any unresolved issues. No major structural faults are indicated, but the low mileage necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
