2010 Nissan Serena 2.0L Petrol · CU10 MEV

The 2010 Nissan Serena presents a stable mechanical trend, though its most recent MOT pass on 1 August 2025 at 95,436 miles is now nearly eleven months old. That test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at the time. A failed test occurred on 12 August 2024 at 84,057 miles, yet notably, no mechanical defects were recorded for that failure, suggesting an administrative issue or a test abort rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. The subsequent pass on 22 August 2024 at 84,148 miles confirms the car was returned to a compliant state shortly after. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,965 miles annually. Between the August 2023 test at 77,784 miles and the August 2024 tests at 84,057 miles, the Serena covered 6,273 miles in twelve months. However, the recorded mileage remained static at 95,436 miles between the August 2024 pass and the August 2025 pass, indicating the vehicle has covered zero miles over the last year. This prolonged stationary period raises concerns about deterioration from lack of use rather than wear from driving. Given the complete lack of recorded mechanical defects across the MOT history, there are no recurring faults to highlight. Nevertheless, a year of inactivity demands a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to seizing or perishing. A buyer should inspect the brake calipers for binding and the brake discs for surface corrosion, as stationary vehicles frequently suffer from pad adhesion and rust. Tyre sidewalls require close examination for flat-spotting or perished rubber, while suspension bushes and coil springs must be checked for deterioration. The exhaust system and underbody should undergo scrutiny for corrosion, as standing vehicles often trap moisture and accelerate structural rust.
