Our Verdict
A sensible and reliable choice for urban driving, provided you verify the recent suspension repairs. The vehicle shows a consistent maintenance pattern despite a few minor MOT setbacks.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L petrol Note, focus on the suspension and wheel bearings. The 2024 MOT history highlighted a failed ball joint dust cover and a noisy nearside rear wheel bearing; ensure these have been professionally addressed and that no humming or grinding noises are audible during a test drive.
Check the service history to confirm that the tyre advisories from 2024 (front tyres worn on edges) were resolved with an alignment check, as uneven wear can indicate suspension geometry issues. Given the mileage is approaching 65,000, ask for proof of recent brake servicing, as previous advisories noted worn discs and pads.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this a cost-effective option for small families or commuters. You can expect relatively low insurance groups and standard UK road tax for this engine size.
Maintenance costs for the Nissan Note are typically moderate, with common consumables like tyres and brake pads being widely available and affordable. Expect an annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Specifically inspect the nearside front suspension area. The 2024 MOT failure for a damaged ball joint dust cover suggests that the suspension components are a known area of wear for this vehicle. Ensure the steering feels precise and free from knocks.
Additionally, listen closely to the rear wheels. A 'slightly noisy' nearside rear wheel bearing was flagged in both 2024 and 2025; confirm that this has been replaced or repaired, as a failing bearing will produce a distinct drone at motorway speeds.
This 2017 black Nissan Note has covered 64,998 miles, which is relatively standard for a petrol vehicle of this age. The MOT history is generally clean, showing a pattern of preventative maintenance regarding tyres and brakes. While it faced a failure in early 2024 due to a suspension ball joint issue, it has passed its subsequent tests without major faults.
While aggregate data is unavailable, the individual history of this Note suggests a vehicle that requires standard maintenance of wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension.
