Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a professional check of the braking system and the offside rear shock absorber, as the November 2025 MOT indicates these are nearing the end of their effective life. You should use these specific advisories to negotiate the purchase price, as they represent imminent maintenance costs.
Verify that the lighting issues noted during the 2023 failure have been fully resolved and check the current state of the tyres. Given the history of tyre wear and perishing recorded in 2022 and 2023, ensure the current set has plenty of tread and no sidewall cracking.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive fuel economy for urban environments. As a 2013 model, it falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size, and typically sits in a low-to-mid insurance group.
Annual running costs will include routine servicing, fuel, and tax. However, the first year of ownership is likely to be more expensive than average due to the required repairs for the brakes and suspension highlighted in the most recent MOT.
Specifically inspect the offside rear shock absorber for oil misting and the front brakes for uneven wear or imbalance, as these were flagged in the November 2025 MOT. Check all exterior lighting, including the position lamps and daytime running lights, which were the cause of a failure in 2023.
Examine the tyres for cracking or edge wear, as this has been a recurring theme in the 2022 and 2023 records. Additionally, have a mechanic check the suspension arms, as these are listed as a top failure reason for the Nissan Note across aggregate model data.
This white 2013 Nissan Note has recorded 85,471 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though it has experienced failures related to lighting and tyres, and the latest 2025 test includes advisories for brake imbalance and a leaking shock absorber.
The Nissan Note has a moderate aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failures often linked to suspension arms and headlamps.
