2011 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · EO11 VTM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of age-related degradation in consumables. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 33,308 miles passed, it introduced an advisory for a nearside rear tyre showing cracking or perishing. This follows a 2025 failure where a noisy offside rear wheel bearing was identified, indicating that mechanical components are beginning to fail despite low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2023 and March 2024, where the car covered only 3,357 miles. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has likely sat for extended periods, which often explains the perishing of rubber-based components like tyres and seals, as seen in the findings from the 2023 and 2026 tests. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system. The recurring issues with tyre wear in 2023 and 2024—specifically tyres worn to the legal limit—suggest a potential alignment problem or uneven pressure that has not been fully addressed. Furthermore, the offside rear artwork bearing noted in 2025 should be verified to ensure it has been replaced. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the chassis should also be checked for surface corrosion that often develops on cars that remain stationary for long durations.
