No two differentials 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:
Both years fall within the first-generation Nissan Note (E11), which ran from 2006 to 2013, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility — but fitment is driven by engine code above all else, so check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm you and the donor car share the same engine code and gearbox type before buying. Bring those details when you request a quote from the breaker, and ask them to verify the part against your registration.
The first-generation Note (E11) received a facelift in 2009, and while the generation runs continuously from 2006 to 2013, mechanical updates can occur at facelift points without a full model change. Name the boundary — pre-facelift (2006–2009) versus facelift (2009–2013) — to the breaker and ask them to confirm whether the differential from the donor car crosses that line safely for your registration.
Trim level does not determine differential fitment on the Nissan Note — what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and whether the car is manual or automatic. A Visia, Acenta, or Tekna with the same engine code and gearbox type will use the same differential, so do not pay more or less based on the badge. Just confirm the engine code matches between your car and the donor vehicle.
The Nissan Note ran as the first-generation E11 from 2006 to 2013, with the second-generation E12 following from 2013 onwards — these are distinct platforms and the differential is very unlikely to interchange between them. Stick to parts from within your own generation, matched on engine code and gearbox type, and confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration.
Fuel type affects the engine code and often the gearbox and drivetrain setup, so a diesel differential is not a straight swap onto a petrol Note even within the same generation. Always supply your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — when contacting a breaker, and confirm the donor car shares the exact same code and gearbox type as yours.
The most important details are your engine code (on your V5 logbook or available via a VIN check), fuel type, and gearbox type — manual or automatic — because the differential follows the drivetrain, not the badge or body colour. Your registration year helps narrow the search, especially around the 2009 facelift within the E11 generation, but the engine code is the single most useful thing you can supply. The breaker will check these details against your registration to give you the best chance of a correct match.
