Our Verdict
This Nissan Note is a sensible purchase for those seeking a low-mileage, economical small car. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with no recorded defects in the last two years.
When viewing this specific 2012 Note, verify the service history to complement the MOT records. While the MOT history is clean of current defects, the presence of failures in 2023 and 2025 suggests that maintenance is required to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repairs made following the 2025 MOT failure at 68,582 miles. For this 1.4L petrol engine, check that the timing chain (if applicable to this specific engine variant) is quiet and that there are no signs of oil leaks around the engine bay.
The 1386cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this a cost-effective option for urban driving and commuting. You can expect reasonable fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Insurance groups for the Nissan Note are typically moderate, making it accessible for various driver profiles. Maintenance costs for this model are generally considered manageable, as parts for this era of Nissan are widely available in the UK market.
Focus your inspection on the areas that have historically required attention during MOT testing. Although the specific defect types were not detailed in the provided summary, the fact that failures occurred in both 2023 and 2025 means you should check the condition of consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades.
Given the vehicle's age, inspect the blue paintwork for any signs of corrosion or significant chips, and check the interior plastics for wear. Ensure all electrical components, including lights and indicators, are functioning correctly, as these are common MOT failure points.
Registered in September 2012, this blue 1.4L petrol Nissan Note has covered 68,582 miles, which is relatively low for a vehicle of its age. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent pass in August 2025. While there were recorded failures in 2023 and 2025, these were resolved to achieve a pass with no defects currently listed.
