Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the advisories from the April 2026 MOT. The tyre cracking suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, meaning a full set of new tyres should be negotiated into the price. Check the service history to see if the oil has been changed regularly despite the low annual mileage, as short trips can be hard on small petrol engines.
Verify the condition of the front suspension arm bushes, as this is a common failure point for the Nissan Note according to aggregate data. Ensure any windscreen chips are assessed for potential spreading, which could lead to a full replacement.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically falling into a lower insurance group and offering competitive fuel economy for urban driving. Annual road tax for this 2015 model is generally affordable, contributing to low fixed overheads.
Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, and insurance, alongside maintenance. Given the recent advisories, the first year of ownership may be higher than average due to the need for new tyres and suspension work.
Prioritise the front suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, as these were flagged in the 2026 MOT and are known weak points for this model. Inspect all four tyres for the 'perishing' or cracking mentioned in the MOT record; rubber degrades over time even if the tread remains deep.
Check the lower offside of the windscreen for the recorded damage to determine if it requires a resin repair. Finally, check the brake pads, as these are listed as a top failure reason for the Note across the wider fleet.
This blue 2015 Nissan Note has covered just 33,267 miles, which is well below the model average. It has passed all five recorded MOT tests since 2022, though the April 2026 test introduced several advisories regarding tyres and suspension. It represents a low-mileage example of a model with a 77.8% average pass rate.
The Nissan Note has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.8%, though suspension components are a frequent point of failure.
