Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a practical small car with a relatively clean recent MOT record. While it has seen some recent test failures, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely minor items that were addressed quickly.
When inspecting this 1.6L petrol Nissan Note, focus on the suspension components. Although no specific defects were listed for this registration, aggregate data for this model frequently highlights suspension arms and anti-roll bars as common failure points.
Ask the seller for evidence of the repairs made following the February 2025 and March 2024 MOT failures. Even though the failures themselves didn't list specific defects in this report, knowing what was rectified will give you confidence in the vehicle's upkeep. Ensure you check the headlamps for clarity and alignment, as this is another common issue for the Note.
The 1598cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and economy suitable for urban driving. You should expect moderate fuel consumption consistent with a 2009 petrol hatchback of this size.
Maintenance costs for the Nissan Note are typically manageable, though you should budget for periodic replacement of suspension components. Tax and insurance groups for this model are generally positioned in the mid-range, making it an affordable option for daily commuting.
Given the model's history, pay close attention to the underside of the car. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension arms and anti-roll bars for excessive play or wear.
Additionally, inspect the headlamp units for any signs of moisture ingress or cloudiness, as headlamp failures are a frequent reason for MOT failures across the Nissan Note fleet. Finally, verify that all lighting is fully functional to avoid a repeat of the recent MOT failure patterns seen in the vehicle's history.
This 2009 Nissan Note, finished in Red, has covered 84,472 miles since its first registration in September 2009.

With an average annual mileage of approximately 6,000 miles, this vehicle sits slightly above the model aggregate average of 5,736 miles per year.
Aggregate data for the Nissan Note shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures relating to suspension and lighting.
