Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough check of the chassis and suspension. The MOT records indicate a fractured offside front coil spring in 2024 and persistent advisories for perished inner wishbone bushes and corroded springs in 2025. You should verify whether these components were replaced or merely patched, as they are common weak points for the Note.
Additionally, the records show recurring issues with a distorted offside front wheel and a cracked mirror. Negotiate the price based on the current state of the tyres and the condition of the headlamp lenses, as these have appeared as advisories across multiple years. Ensure the service history supports the 113,698 miles recorded.
The 1.38L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, and insurance costs for this model are typically low. Tax bands for a 2007 petrol vehicle of this size are generally modest, making it an affordable entry-point vehicle.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car. The MOT history highlights a trend of suspension wear and tyre degradation, suggesting that the buyer should budget for frequent replacement of bushings, springs, and tyres to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Carefully inspect the front suspension, specifically the inner wishbone bushes and the coil springs. The MOT history explicitly mentions perished bushes and corroded/fractured springs, which align with the model's top failure reasons. Check for any signs of ongoing corrosion on the Macpherson strut mountings, as noted in 2023 and 2024.
Examine the exterior for the recurring issues mentioned in the data: check the offside mirror for cracks and the front road wheels for distortion or rim damage. Finally, check the headlamp lenses for the 'product' or tarnishing mentioned in the 2025 and 2026 tests, as this may require professional restoration to ensure optimal light output.
This 2007 grey Nissan Note has covered 113,698 miles, which is roughly in line with the average mileage for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension wear, including corroded coil springs and perished wishbone bushes, alongside recurring advisories for tarnished headlamps and damaged mirrors. It represents a typical example of this model, reflecting the common suspension failure patterns seen in aggregate data.
The Nissan Note has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with suspension arms and headlamps identified as frequent failure points.
