Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for those seek
When viewing this specific vehicle, pay close attention to the suspension. The January 2026 MOT noted worn inner rear bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. You should check if these have been replaced since the test or if they remain as advisories. Additionally, the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin, so factor the cost of a brake service into your negotiation.
Ask the seller for any evidence of work carried out following the January 2026 MOT. Given the age of the car, you should also check for any signs of corrosion on the rear coil springs, which was an advisory in 2025. While the mileage is low, ensure the service history supports the engine's needs, particularly for the 1598cc petrol unit.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to smaller-capacity city cars. You should expect typical fuel economy for a Nissan Note of this era, which is generally efficient for family motoring but not a high-performance engine.
Insurance groups for 2006 Nissan Notes are typically mid-range, making it accessible for various driver profiles. Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the suspension and braking components identified in recent MOT records. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, would sit around £1,100-£1,300 depending on your annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the car. The MOT history specifically points to suspension arm bushes (both nearside and offside front lower arms) and rear coil spring corrosion. A mechanic should check these components to ensure they do not require immediate replacement.
Secondly, inspect the braking system. The 2025 and 2026 MOTs both flagged brake wear (discs and pads). Check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for any heavy pitting or uneven wear. Finally, check the condition of the rear registration plate, as this has been noted as deteriorated in two consecutive tests.
This 2006 silver Nissan Note with the 1.6L petrol engine has covered 55,451 miles, which is well below the typical mileage for its age. While the MOT history shows no failures in recent years, the most recent test in January 2026 highlighted several advisories regarding brake pads and suspension bushes. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing tests, though maintenance on wear items is clearly becoming necessary.
Aggregate data from over 164,000 Nissan Notes shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common issues relating to suspension arms, headlamps, and brake pads.
