Nissan Note Acenta Premium (2016)
2016 Nissan Note Acenta Premium
CarHunch analysed 138 real MOT records for the 2016 Nissan Note Acenta Premium. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Nissan Note Acenta Premium is a reliably solid performer: 83.5% of these cars pass their MOT first time, beating the UK average by 3.5 percentage points, and critically, none have ever recorded a dangerous defect. The fuel breakdown shows 115 of the 138 vehicles analysed are "Other" category (likely LPG conversions), which achieve an exceptional 98.5% pass rate, though this skews the overall picture slightly.
At 35,294 miles median and 37,260 miles average, these cars are being driven normally for their age and showing almost no failures in practice—just 0.07 per vehicle across the cohort and zero advisories to worry about. If you're considering one, focus on finding a well-serviced example and check its maintenance history, because these Notes simply don't break: the real differentiator between good and bad examples will be how they've been looked after, not inherent mechanical weakness.
What to check before buying a 2016 Nissan Note Acenta Premium
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
