About the 2011 NISSAN MARCH

The 2011 NISSAN MARCH is a city car with a 1190cc petrol engine. 131 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. It ranks in the top 23% of all 2011 cars for reliability.

With an average of 40,630 miles at 15 years old, NISSAN MARCH owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

2011 NISSAN MARCH Fuel Costs

The modest 1190cc petrol engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 50 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £955 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2011 NISSAN MARCH?

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,525 (£127/month), broken down as £955 fuel, £165 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 88% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

NISSAN MARCH Reliability Trend

Newer NISSAN MARCHs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 7 percentage points.

Buying a Used 2011 NISSAN MARCH

At 15 years old, the NISSAN MARCH is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2011 NISSAN MARCH's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Coil Pack Failure

Medium risk

Smaller petrol engines are prone to ignition coil failures, causing misfires and rough running. Replacement is £50-£150 per coil.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
