Our Verdict
This 2015 Nissan Note is a practical sup
With this vehicle being an 11-year-old 1.2-litre petrol Note, budgeting for a brake refurbishment is sensible: the 2023 test flagged inner pad wear and pitted/scored front discs, and although the 2024-2026 tests do not record brake condition as a defect, the components flagged two years ago are unlikely to have been replaced without evidence of work in writing. The 2024 advisories point to corroded brake hose ferrules on all four corners, a worn front anti-roll bar bush, and corroded rear coil springs, so a thorough inspection should pay close attention to the braking system, front suspension links, and rear springs for any worsening corrosion.
A test-drive should include an emergency stop from a reasonable speed to check for pull or vibration that could indicate remaining disc wear, and a low-speed pass over uneven surfaces to listen for suspension knocking that might suggest bush wear has progressed. Tyre condition should be examined carefully, because the 2023 failure listed both front tyres as having exposed cords from perished sidewalls, an unusually rapid failure pattern that may indicate the car has been stored outdoors for long periods. A pre-purchase inspection on a ramp is strongly advisable, particularly underneath, given the coil spring corrosion advisories and the age of the vehicle.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is a frugal unit, typically returning in the region of 45-50 mpg on a mix of town and A2 motorway use, which keeps fuel costs manageable for a commuter supermini. Road tax for a petrol Note of this age falls into a modest bracket thanks to its sub-1.2-litre engine, and insurance should sit in a sensible group for a small family hatch, keeping the all-in standing costs reasonable for the class. Maintenance is generally affordable, with parts widely available and independent garages familiar with the model, although the recent brake and suspension advisories mean the next owner should plan for a likely £300-£600 spend on brake hoses, discs, pads and possibly coil springs within the first year of ownership. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance, expect annual running costs in the region of £1,400-£1,800 depending on mileage.
Begin with the braking system: the 2023 MOT failed on inner brake pad wear and pitted front discs, while the 2024 test recorded brake hose corrosion on all four corners. Check pad and disc thickness directly, feel for a lip on the disc edge, and inspect the rubber sections of the flexible brake hoses for cracking or perishing beyond just the metal ferrules.
Move to the suspension: the 2024 advisories flagged a nearside front suspension arm bush and corroded rear coil springs on both rear corners. Visually inspect the front wishbone bushes for cracking or excessive play, jack the car and rock each wheel to check for play in the bushes and top mounts, and examine the rear springs for surface corrosion that could progress to weakening.
Finally, look at tyres, exhaust and body condition: the 2023 failure listed both front tyres as having exposed cords from perished edges, suggesting prolonged standing periods. Check all four tyres for age-related cracking regardless of tread depth, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion at the mounting points and joints given the vehicle's age. Also note the aggregate model data showing suspension arm, headlamp and brake pad as the top MOT failure reasons for the Note, so these are known weak areas worth scrutinising.
Recorded mileage has risen steadily from 66,439 in early 2023 to 91,897 in February 2026, an average of roughly 8,500 miles per year, which sits above the Nissan Note model average of 5,698 miles annually. The 2023 MOT failed outright on exposed tyre cords and worn front brake discs and pads, while the 2024 test passed but recorded six advisories covering corroded brake hose ferrules, a worn front suspension bush, and corroded rear coil springs. The two most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 were recorded clean with no defects, although the absence of recorded defects at MOT does not establish the underlying condition of wear-and-tear components.
Across 164,633 Nissan Note vehicles analysed, the model achieves a 77.8% MOT pass rate and its most common failure points are suspension arms, headlamps and brake pads, which aligns with the advisories recorded on this individual car.
