No two brake calipers are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Nissan Note ran in two generations in the UK: the first-generation E11 ran from 2006 to 2013, and the second-generation E12 ran from 2013 onwards. These two generations have different brake setups, so a caliper from an E11 is very unlikely to fit an E12 — confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Yes, engine size can matter — the Note was available in 1.2, 1.4, 1.5 dCi, and 1.6 petrol variants depending on generation, and larger or more powerful engines sometimes carried uprated brakes. Always tell the breaker your engine size alongside the year and registration so they can match the correct caliper.
Yes, absolutely — front brake calipers are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) are not interchangeable. Make sure you identify which side needs replacing before contacting a breaker, as supplying the wrong side is a common and easily avoided mistake.
Trim level does not affect brake caliper fitment on the Nissan Note — the calipers are determined by the generation and engine size, not whether the car is a Visia, Acenta, or Tekna. You may find cosmetic differences such as paint colour on the caliper, but the functional fitment is the same across trims within the same engine and generation.
The changeover from the first-generation E11 to the second-generation E12 Note happened around 2013 in the UK, so a 2012 car should be an E11. However, production overlaps and early E12 introductions mean it is worth confirming the exact generation with the breaker using your registration, as fitting a caliper from the wrong generation is a real risk around these boundary years.
Not all Nissan Notes have rear brake calipers — many variants use rear drum brakes rather than rear discs, in which case there is no rear caliper at all. Rear disc brakes with calipers were fitted to some variants, but whether your specific car has them depends on the generation, engine, and specification, so check your vehicle or confirm with the breaker before searching for a rear caliper.
