Fitment on a used sill varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Nissan Note ran across two distinct generations in the UK: the first generation (E11) covered roughly 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) ran from 2013 onwards — sills between these two generations are completely different pressings and will not interchange. Within the same generation, sills are far more likely to be compatible, but confirm with the breaker against your registration as minor pressing changes can occur mid-generation without a formal facelift announcement.
Yes, generation matters significantly — an E11 (2006–2013) sill and an E12 (2013 onwards) sill are entirely different panels and are not interchangeable. Within each generation, sills are generally shared across the production run, but ask the breaker to check against your specific registration to rule out any mid-run changes.
Trim level does not affect sill fitment on the Nissan Note — the structural pressing is the same whether the donor car is a Visia, Acenta, or Tekna. Bear in mind that higher-spec trim cars may have had body-coloured lower mouldings or side skirt add-ons fitted, so check whether any trim strips or mouldings need to come across separately.
The E11 generation received a facelift around 2009, and while sills sit away from the main areas typically revised in a facelift, it is not safe to assume the pressing is identical across that boundary without checking. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as panel changes are sometimes made during a production run without a publicised facelift.
Yes, this matters — always source your sill from a right-hand-drive UK or Japanese-market car to ensure the NS (nearside, left side) and OS (offside, right side) orientations match correctly. Most breakers in the UK will be supplying from right-hand-drive cars, but it is worth confirming, particularly if the part is being sourced from a European dismantler.
The E12 generation ran from 2013 through to the end of UK production and is treated as one generation for sill fitment purposes, so parts from within this generation are generally compatible. However, whether a specific pressing changed at any point during the E12's production run is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume.
