Our Verdict
This Nissan Note is a sensible choice for those seeking a low-maintenance small petrol car. The recent MOT history shows a consistent passing record with no recorded defects in the last several years.
When viewing this specific 1.2L petrol model, focus on the service history to ensure the small-capacity engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Although the MOT records show no defects, you should still check for any signs of oil leaks or unusual engine noise, which are common considerations for high-mileage city cars.
Since the MOT history for this vehicle is devoid of recorded failures or advisories since 2022, it suggests a period of consistent compliance. However, always verify the physical condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are consumables not always captured in a 'no defect' MOT result if they are within legal limits but nearing the end of their life.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban driving. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a modest insurance group, which is typical for this class of supermini.
Maintenance costs for the Nissan Note are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items. Given the mileage, an estimated annual running cost covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance is approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and driving style.
Based on aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically the suspension arms and anti-roll bars, as these are common failure points across the Nissan Note fleet. Even though this specific vehicle has no recorded suspension defects, it is prudent to check for knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, as headlamp issues are a top reason for MOT failures in this model. Finally, check the brake pads and discs, and ensure all exterior lights are functioning correctly to align with the clean record seen in the recent MOT tests.
This 2013 red Nissan Note features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 91,889 miles as of its last test. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 5,736 miles per year, the MOT history is notably clean, with no defects recorded across its most recent tests in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The vehicle's recent history shows it successfully passed its February 2026 MOT after a single failure on the same day, which resulted in no recorded defects upon retest.
Aggregate data from over 164,000 vehicles shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to suspension and lighting.
