Used door hinges vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Nissan Note had two main generations in the UK: the first generation (E11) ran from 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) ran from 2013 onwards. Hinges from a first-gen E11 are very unlikely to fit a second-gen E12 as the body shell changed significantly between generations, so you need a hinge from the correct generation. Always confirm the exact fit with the breaker using your registration before buying.
The Nissan Note was sold exclusively as a 5-door hatchback throughout both generations in the UK, so there is no 3-door variant to worry about. All door hinges are therefore for a 5-door layout, but you still need to specify which door position the hinge is for when contacting a breaker. Getting the correct side — nearside (NS, passenger left) or offside (OS, driver right) — and whether it is a front or rear door hinge is essential for the right part.
Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Nissan Note — the hinge is part of the body structure and is the same across Visia, Acenta, and Tekna grades within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences such as body colour if a hinge comes with a door skin attached, but the hinge itself is interchangeable across trims. Confirm the generation and door position with the breaker and you should be fine.
The first-generation Note E11 received a facelift around 2009, but the core body structure and door hinge mounting points were not significantly altered at that update. It is likely that hinges from a pre- and post-facelift E11 are compatible, but because hinge mounting geometry can vary in ways that are not always obvious, you should confirm this directly with the breaker quoting against your registration. Never assume fitment across a facelift boundary without a check.
Yes, it matters significantly — the nearside (NS) is the passenger side on the left of the car, and the offside (OS) is the driver's side on the right, and the hinges are mirror images of one another so they are not interchangeable. You also need to specify whether you need a front door hinge or a rear door hinge, as these differ in size and mounting. Give the breaker your registration and clearly state NS or OS and front or rear to make sure you get the correct part.
No — the door hinge on the Nissan Note is part of the body shell and has nothing to do with the engine, fuel type, or gearbox. Whether your Note is petrol, diesel, or hybrid, the hinge fitment is determined solely by the generation (E11 2006–2013 or E12 2013 onwards), the door position, and the side (NS or OS). Focus on those details when contacting a breaker and you can ignore drivetrain entirely.
