Known issues to check on a 2016 Nissan Versa Note
- CVT Condition and 2012-2017 Warranty-Extension Settlement (2011–2025)
Under a class-action settlement, 2012-2017 Versa sedans and 2014-2017 Versa Notes had CVT powertrain coverage extended from 60 months/60,000 miles to 84 months/84,000 miles; that coverage has now expired. Owners of various years report CVT shudder, whine or hesitation, and replacement can cost a large share of an older Versa's value.
What to do: Test drive carefully; a manual-transmission Versa avoids CVT concerns entirely. - Older 4-Speed Automatic Expectations (2011–2018)
Some base Versas use an older 4-speed automatic, which is simple but gives noticeably lower fuel economy than the CVT (about 26/35 mpg versus 31/40 on a 2015 sedan).
What to do: Confirm which transmission the car has; it affects mpg and inspection focus. - Budget-Car Wear and Ownership History (2011–2025)
Versas are often bought as low-cost first cars, rentals or fleet cars, so many have high mileage or missed service. Brakes, tires, suspension, A/C and body damage are typical checks.
What to do: Get a vehicle history report and a pre-purchase inspection. - Versa Sedan, Hatchback and Versa Note Disambiguation (2011–2025)
Versa variants differ: 2011 sedans and hatchbacks (1.6L or 1.8L), the 2012-2019 sedan (109-hp 1.6L), the older-design 2012 hatchback (1.8L), the 2014-2019 Versa Note hatchback (109-hp 1.6L), and the 2020-2025 sedan (122-hp 1.6L). Transmissions include 5- and 6-speed manuals, a 4-speed automatic and CVTs.
What to do: Confirm body style, engine and transmission before comparing.
Recall applicability varies by model year, body style, transmission, equipment and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls and completed remedies.
