Our Verdict
This 2008 Nissan Note has a mixed MOT history and above-average mileage, making it a cautious purchase unless significant discounts are negotiated.
Negotiate aggressively due to the 2026 MOT failure and high mileage. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection to verify the headlamp lens deposits and exhaust system. Check service history for repairs related to the 2026 failures. Be wary of repeated minor issues which may indicate underlying problems. Consider the vehicle only if offered at a significant discount to offset potential repair costs.
Petrol fuel economy is likely average for a 2008 model, with typical costs of £1,200-£1,500 annually. Tax would be £145 for 2008-2017 models. Insurance group 13-15 would add £500-£700 yearly. The 2026 exhaust CO failure suggests potential engine or catalytic converter issues, which could add £300-£800 in repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £2,000-£3,000.
Focus on the headlamp lenses for persistent deposits that may indicate poor maintenance. Check the exhaust system for leaks or damage causing CO emissions. Inspect the nearside front position lamp wiring. Verify that the 2026 MOT repairs were properly completed. Look for signs of engine misfires or check engine lights. Examine the vehicle's service history for recurring issues.
The vehicle has a generally clean MOT record except for recent headlamp and exhaust issues. At 120,802 miles, its mileage is 20% above average for a 17-year-old car. While no major defects have been recorded in older MOTs, the 2026 failed test highlights potential maintenance concerns.
No aggregate data available for the Nissan Note, but this vehicle's history shows more frequent minor issues than typical for its age.
