Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Given the high mileage and the specific failures recorded, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and suspension maintenance. The MOT history shows a history of headlamp aim and lens defects, so ensure all lighting components are fully functional and correctly aligned during a test drive.
Negotiate on the basis of the recent tyre wear and the recurring lighting issues. Ask the seller for evidence that the battery security issue noted in 2025 has been resolved, as this was a recorded failure. Because this is a 1.5L diesel engine, check for any signs of excessive smoke or unusual engine noise which could indicate high-mileage wear.
As a 1.5L diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent fuel economy for motorway driving, though costs will depend heavily on the driver's style and maintenance levels. It will fall into a standard insurance group for a small diesel hatchback, and tax bands will vary based on the specific CO2 emissions recorded at registration.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are expected to be higher due to the potential for wear-and-tear items like suspension components, brakes, and tyres to require frequent replacement. Expect typical maintenance costs to be influenced by the age of the vehicle and the need to address common model failure points like suspension arms.
Pay close attention to the lighting system; the MOT history shows repeated issues with stop lamps, registration plate lamps, and headlamp aim/lens defects. Ensure all bulbs are working and that the headlamp beams are correctly levelled to avoid a repeat of the 2023 and 2025 failures.
Inspect the tyres and wheels carefully. The vehicle has had recent failures for tread depth below 1.6mm and worn edges, so check the current condition of all four tyres. Additionally, since a nearside rear wheel bearing was noted as 'rough when rotated' in 2023, listen for any humming or grinding noises from the wheel arches during a test drive.
This 2006 beige diesel Nissan Note has covered 146,054 miles as of January 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,703 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures related to external lighting, tyre wear, and mechanical components like wheel bearings. While it passed its most recent test, the frequency of advisories and failures suggests a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failures occurring in suspension arms, headlamps, and brake pads.
