Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This Nissan Pixo s
When inspecting this specific vehicle, your primary focus should be on the mechanical advisories noted in the February 2026 MOT. The presence of an oil leak, even if described as 'not excessive', suggests that a thorough inspection of the engine seals and gaskets is necessary. You should also ask for evidence of any recent work carried out to address the deteriorated CV boots and the corroded offside front coil spring.
Negotiate based on the potential cost of these upcoming repairs. A buyer should also check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as the MOT history shows a tendency for minor electrical and component wear, such as registration plate lamps and stop lamps. Ensure that the 'slightly distorted' nearside front inner road wheel has not caused any long-term alignment issues or vibrations during a test drive.
The 996cc petrol engine is designed for economy, typically placing this model in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than expected due to the age and mileage. The recent MOT advisories regarding suspension components (coil spring) and drivetrain parts (CV boots) indicate that mechanical upkeep will be a recurring theme. Expect typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and insurance, to be balanced against the need for more frequent component replacements.
Pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The February 2026 MOT specifically flagged a corroded offside front coil spring and a near-side front inner road wheel that was slightly distorted; check for any signs of structural rust or further wheel damage. The reported oil leak should be located to determine if it is a simple gasket issue or something more substantial.
Furthermore, inspect the drive shafts. The MOT history noted that both front inner drive shaft CV boots were 'severely deteriorated'. If these have not been replaced, grease may have escaped, potentially leading to more expensive joint failures. Finally, verify that all external lighting, including the registration plate lamps and stop lamps which have failed or been flagged previously, is fully operational.
This 2009 silver Nissan Pixo has covered 110,153 miles since its first registration in November 2009. While it has a history of passing MOT tests, the most recent test in February 2026 recorded several advisories including oil leaks, suspension corrosion, and deteriorated CV boots. The vehicle's mileage is high for its age, reflecting a life of consistent use.
