Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage option, pro
Prospective buyers should focus on the braking system. Brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in three consecutive MOT tests (2023, 2024, and 2025); verify whether these were replaced or simply passed as 'not seriously weakened'. You should also request evidence that the oil leak from the sump pan noted in November 2023 was repaired.
Check the service history for any record of suspension work following the November 2024 failure. Given the model's aggregate data, ensuring the suspension arms are in good condition is critical for this vehicle's longevity.
Powered by a 1198cc petrol engine, this Note is designed for efficiency and low urban running costs. It typically falls into a low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket for its age, making it an economical choice for short-distance commuting.
Annual maintenance is generally affordable, though the recurring brake and suspension issues seen in this vehicle's history suggest that wear-and-tear items may require more frequent attention than average. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Prioritise an inspection of the front brake discs to check for pitting and scoring, as this has been a persistent advisory since 2023. Examine the lower suspension arms for any signs of renewed wear or play, as this vehicle previously failed on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes in 2024.
Additionally, inspect the engine sump pan for signs of oil leakage, referencing the advisory from November 2023. Finally, check the condition of the rear coil springs, as corrosion was noted on the nearside rear spring in 2023.
This red 2016 Nissan Note has recorded 47,067 miles as of its last MOT, which is below the model average of 5,698 miles per year. The MOT history shows one failure in 2024 and a pattern of advisories concerning brake disc wear and pitting. While the overall record is relatively clean, there are specific recurring mechanical points to note.
The Nissan Note has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with suspension arms identified as a top failure reason across the model range.
