Fitment questions

Does the Nissan Note actually have CV joints?

Yes, the Nissan Note is a front-wheel-drive car and CV joints are a fundamental part of its drivetrain, transferring power from the gearbox to the front wheels through the driveshafts. Every petrol and diesel variant of the Note uses them, so finding a used set from a breaker is straightforward. You'll need to confirm the correct side (nearside or offside) when requesting a quote.

Will CV joints from a first-generation Note (2004–2013) fit a second-generation Note (2013 onwards)?

The first-generation Nissan Note ran from 2004 to 2013, and the second generation was introduced in 2013, bringing a different platform and revised driveshaft geometry. Parts from across this generation boundary are very unlikely to interchange, so you should not assume a driveshaft or CV joint from a Mk1 will fit a Mk2. Always confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Does engine size affect which CV joints fit my Nissan Note?

Engine size can influence driveshaft and CV joint specification, as higher-torque or larger-displacement engines sometimes require more robust joints or different outer diameters. The Note was offered in several petrol and diesel variants across its life, so it's worth telling the breaker your exact engine size (for example 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 petrol or 1.5 dCi diesel) alongside your registration number. This gives the breaker what they need to pull the correct matching part from their vehicle.

Does it matter whether I have an Acenta, Visia, or Tekna trim when buying a used CV joint?

Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the Nissan Note — the driveshaft and joint specification is determined by the generation and engine, not whether the car has an Acenta, Visia, or Tekna badge. You may find cosmetic differences on parts stripped from higher-spec vehicles, but the joint itself will be the same across trim grades for the same engine and generation. Focus on getting the generation, engine size, and correct side right rather than worrying about trim.

Does it matter which side I order — nearside or offside — for a Nissan Note CV joint?

Yes, side matters and you must specify it when requesting a quote from a breaker. On many front-wheel-drive cars the nearside (left, passenger side) and offside (right, driver side) driveshafts are different lengths, and the CV joints fitted to them may differ accordingly. Check which side needs replacing before contacting a breaker to avoid receiving the wrong part.

Will a CV joint from a pre-facelift first-generation Note fit a post-facelift first-generation Note?

The first-generation Nissan Note received a facelift during its production run, though the underlying platform and drivetrain were carried over. In many cases the driveshaft and CV joint specification remains the same across a facelift that only changes styling and interior details, but this is not guaranteed. Confirm directly with the breaker by providing your full registration so they can check the exact part number against their dismantled vehicle.
