Our Verdict

This Nissan Cube is a sensible option for those seeking a low-risk used vehicle. The consistent MOT pass record with no recorded defects over the last four years suggests a stable history for this specific unit.

When inspecting this 2011 Cube, focus on the service history to supplement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test specific safety and environmental aspects. Given the 1500cc petrol engine, check for consistent oil level maintenance and listen for any unusual engine noise during a cold start.

As the vehicle has covered roughly 86,000 miles, you should verify if major scheduled maintenance items, such as spark plugs or coolant changes, have been addressed. While the MOT history shows no defects, a physical inspection of the interior trim and the unique boxy exterior panels is advised to check for any cosmetic wear not captured by official testing.

The 1500cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model type typically offers a balance between practicality and efficiency, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.

Maintenance costs for Nissan models are generally predictable, though parts for specific body styles like the Cube can occasionally carry a slight premium. Expect annual running costs to be influenced primarily by your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Since the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows no recorded failures or advisories, there are no specific recurring mechanical issues to highlight from the official records. However, you should perform a standard check of all lights, wipers, and tyre tread depths, as these are common areas for MOT advisories.

Pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components during a test drive. Even with a clean MOT record, the 85,944 miles recorded suggest that components like bushings or brake pads may be approaching the end of their typical service life.

Registered in October 2011, this black 1.5L petrol Nissan Cube has covered 85,944 miles as of its most recent MOT in October 2025. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record since 2022, with no failures or advisories noted in the last four consecutive tests. For a vehicle of this age, the mileage and lack of recorded defects present a relatively consistent profile.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Nissan Cube to provide a statistical comparison.
