2006 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · SL56 YLB

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, characterized by repeated failures immediately preceding successful tests. In the most recent test on 9 December 2025, the car passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just six days earlier on 3 December 2025. This pattern of failing and then passing within the same week is also evident in the 2024 records, where the vehicle failed on 5 December 2024 and passed on 6 December 2024. While the most recent result is clean, the recurring need for remedial work to pass the annual inspection suggests a trend of intermittent mechanical or safety non-compliance. The recorded mileage of 68,080 miles is low for a 2006 model, averaging approximately 3,404 miles per year. The MOT history provides specific data points for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, but the lack of specific mileage increments between these annual tests makes it difficult to determine if the vehicle is being driven consistently or sitting idle for long periods. Low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues such as seized brake calipers or degraded rubber components due to lack of use, though the records do not explicitly confirm these specific faults. Because the MOT failures in 2024 and 2025 did not list specific defect descriptions in the provided data, a physical inspection is required to identify the nature of these recurring issues. A buyer should focus on checking for signs of corrosion on the underside and structural components, as well as inspecting the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Given the pattern of short-term failures, verifying the current state of the braking system and exhaust emissions would be prudent to ensure the vehicle remains compliant between annual tests. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
