Verdict
Petit monospace de 4,10 m à 5 places, quatre étoiles Euro NCAP en 2013 et banquette arrière coulissante. CarVerif et les propriétaires de Fiches-auto décrivent un modèle plutôt fiable, mais il a fait l'objet de plusieurs rappels (sécurité enfant, airbags, ABS/ESP, bobines d'allumage) à faire vérifier avec le numéro de série.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 93 to 119 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
- Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (petrol)€106
1.2 DIG-S 98 version: combined consumption of 4.3 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
4.3 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €106
Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.

Inspection checklist
Nissan Note II — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier chez Nissan, avec le numéro de série, les rappels : sécurité enfant, airbags latéraux, ABS/ESP et bobines d'allumage.
- Contrôler le niveau d'huile et demander les factures de vidange.
- Au démarrage, écouter les ratés ou un calage : signe possible de bobines d'allumage défaillantes (2015-2016).
- Essayer la banquette coulissante et les verrouillages de portes arrière.
- Sur une CVT, vérifier l'absence d'à-coups à basse vitesse.
Questions to ask the seller
- Tous les rappels Nissan ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous les justificatifs ?
- Avez-vous constaté une consommation d'huile ou un calage du moteur ?
- Quand ont eu lieu les dernières vidanges et l'entretien de la boîte ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
