Our Verdict
A solid, low-risk purchase for those seeking a practical city car. The consistent MOT pass rate and steady mileage progression suggest a well-maintained example of the 2008 Nissan Note.
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1.6L engine has had regular oil changes, as this is key to longevity at the 100k mile mark. Given the previous advisories for wearing brake pads in 2022 and 2024, verify that the braking system has been fully refreshed recently to avoid immediate maintenance costs.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and any missing service stamps. Check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody, which is common for cars of this era, although the clean 2025 MOT suggests the chassis remains in acceptable condition.
The 1598cc petrol engine offers a balance of urban agility and motorway capability, though fuel economy will be typical for a non-hybrid vehicle of this age. Expect moderate insurance costs as the Note generally sits in a mid-range insurance group.
Annual costs will be kept low due to the vehicle's simple mechanical nature. Maintenance should be limited to routine consumables like tyres and filters, provided the previous owner's trend of addressing MOT advisories continues.
Review the braking system specifically; the MOT history shows a pattern of 'brake pads wearing thin' in both December 2022 and December 2024. Ensure the current pads have sufficient life remaining. Additionally, check the exhaust system for any signs of the 'minor leak' noted in the 2022 test to ensure it was permanently repaired.
Inspect the electricals, specifically the rear lighting, following the 2023 failure for the offside rear stop lamp. While a simple fix, it is worth confirming all bulbs are functioning correctly during your viewing.
This blue 1.6L petrol Nissan Note has been kept in good operational order, covering approximately 102,205 miles over its lifetime. The MOT history is predominantly clean, with only minor advisory notes regarding brake wear and a single simple bulb failure. It presents as a reliable, honest vehicle with no major structural or mechanical red flags in its recent records.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's history suggests a high level of reliability and ease of maintenance.
