2011 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · KX61 XYY

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend characterized by deferred repairs on critical mechanical and safety components. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 121,295 miles, this followed a significant failure just five miles prior where multiple defects were identified. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 indicates that maintenance is only being addressed when necessitated by inspections rather than through a proactive service schedule. At 121,295 miles, the Nissan Pixo reflects an average of approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for a 15-year-old car. The data shows consistent usage between tests, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between July 2023 and 2024, and another 4,100 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady mileage accumulation combined with the age has accelerated the natural degradation of rubber and metal components, particularly given the age-related issues appearing on the vehicle. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system and suspension due to persistent issues. The record shows a clear history of corrosion on the rear brake pipes, which moved from an advisory in 2024 to a strong advice warning in 2025. Furthermore, the front brake discs progressed from merely worn to seriously weakened in the July 2025 test, and the rear drums are now pitted and scored. The suspension also shows severely deteriorated CV boots and ball joint dust covers, which will lead to rapid mechanical failure and accelerated component damage if not replaced immediately. Physical inspection should also focus on the front oil leak noted in 2025 to ensure it is not indicative of a engine seal failure. Given the deteriorated registration plates and previous failures regarding lighting and wipers, the overall attention to minor upkeep items appears to have been neglected. The vehicle requires a thorough mechanical check to ensure that the repairs made following the last MOT were executed to a professional standard.
