Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car with a clean service record. This Nissan Note shows exceptional consistency, having consistently avoided the mechanical failures common to this model.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on verifying the service history logbook; as the car has averaged roughly 6,000 miles per year—well within the national model average of 5,736 miles—you should ensure regular oil changes have been performed. Since the MOT history is clean, there are no immediate red flags regarding suspension or lighting, but you should still check for any signs of wear on the bushes which are common failure points for the Note.
Negotiate based on the low mileage relative to the age, as this usually commands a premium. Check the interior for wear on the driver's seat and steering wheel, which can sometimes indicate if mileage has been misrepresented. Ensure the 'flat floor' seats function correctly, as this is a key selling point of this model.
The 1198cc petrol engine is positioned for efficiency, typically falling into lower insurance groups and modest tax bands. Owners can expect respectable fuel economy, around 50-55 MPG in real conditions, making it an economical choice for daily runs.
Annual running costs are estimated to be between £700 and £900, covering fuel, insurance, low-band road tax, and routine maintenance. Given the low mileage, you may face less frequent costs for brake components and tyres compared to higher-mileage examples.
While this specific vehicle has a perfect record with no defects, you should manually inspect the suspension components. Aggregate data for the Nissan Note identifies suspension arms and anti-roll bars as frequent reasons for MOT failures, so check for any play or perished rubber in the joints.
Test the headlamp alignment and brightness, as this is another common failure point for this model year. Because this car has had no advisories in five years, it suggests the vehicle's mechanical health has been managed well, but always verify that the engine runs smoothly without any hesitation or ticking sounds.
This 2014 Nissan Note presents a very strong value proposition, sitting at 73,886 miles, which is significantly lower than the fleet average for a 12-year-old vehicle of this type. Notably, it has passed its last five MOT tests since 2022 without a single recorded defect or advisory. The 1.2-litre petrol engine makes it a practical, low-tax option suitable for urban environments and commuting.
The Nissan Note is generally considered reliable, though suspension-related parts are the most common failure point over time.
