Used Nissan Note Bulkhead

The Nissan Note ran in two generations in the UK: the first generation (E11) from 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) from 2013 onwards. A bulkhead from within the same generation should be your starting point, as the two platforms are completely different structures. Always confirm the exact year range with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The E11 Note received a facelift in 2009, but this was primarily a styling update and the underlying platform remained the same generation. Whether the bulkhead pressing changed between the pre-2009 and post-2009 E11 is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation panel changes can occur without being widely documented. If you are crossing the 2013 E11-to-E12 generation boundary, treat the parts as incompatible.

Both 2010 and 2012 Notes are E11 generation, so you are within the same platform, which is the right starting point for bulkhead compatibility. However, confirm with the breaker against your registration that no mid-generation pressing change affects your specific build dates. Staying within the E11 range (2006–2013) gives you the best chance of a match.

This question spans the generation boundary: the 2012 Note is an E11 and the 2014 Note is an E12, which are entirely different platforms with different bodyshells. A bulkhead from one generation will not fit the other, so source a part from the correct generation for your car. Confirm your exact generation with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Nissan Note; the structure is the same across Visia, Acenta, and Tekna grades within the same generation. What matters is the generation (E11 2006–2013 or E12 2013 onwards) and the body style, not the spec level. You may find minor cosmetic or sealing differences depending on factory options, so mention your trim to the breaker when ordering, but do not expect it to change compatibility.

Engine choice does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Nissan Note, so whether your car is a petrol or diesel makes no difference to which bulkhead you need. The key factors are the generation (E11 or E12) and confirming the body style matches. Focus your search on year and platform, and verify with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
