Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car. The consistent MOT pass history without defects suggests a vehicle that has avoided common mechanical pitfalls during its recent inspections.
Given the low mileage of 35,523 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure that even with low usage, oil changes and fluid checks have been performed regularly. Low-mileage petrol engines can sometimes suffer from carbon buildup if they have only been used for very short urban trips.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of any recent work on the braking system or suspension, as these are common failure points for the Nissan Note across the wider dataset. Since the MOT history shows no recent issues, the car appears to have been used in a way that avoids immediate wear-and-tear failures.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban and suburban driving. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to larger hatchbacks, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for a Nissan Note are typically moderate, but you should budget for components like brake discs or suspension arms, which are noted as frequent failure points for this model type. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are estimated to be manageable for a small-capacity petrol vehicle.
While this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects, you should pay close attention to the suspension and braking components during a physical inspection. The aggregate data for this model indicates that suspension arms and brake discs are common reasons for MOT failures.
Additionally, check the condition of the headlamps to ensure there is no significant clouding or moisture ingress, as headlamp issues are a frequent failure reason for the Nissan Note. Given the white paintwork, inspect the body for any signs of minor scuffs that might be common on a car used in city environments.
This 2016 white Nissan Note features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 35,523 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The vehicle's mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 5,729 miles per year, which would equate to roughly 62,000 miles for a car of this age. Its MOT history shows four consecutive passes with zero recorded defects or advisories since 2022.
The Nissan Note has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across the analysed fleet, with common issues relating to suspension, lighting, and brakes.
