2010 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · GF60 KZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 98,005 miles, the car passed after failing for a defective nearside rear stop lamp and worn front suspension arm bushes. These suspension arm bushes have been a recurring advisory or failure point since at least 82,004 miles, indicating that while the components are being monitored, they are aging and likely nearing another failure. At 98,005 miles over 16 years, the Nissan Pixo averages approximately 6,125 miles per year, which is consistent with a typical city car profile. The data shows steady usage, with 11,000 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 16,000 miles recorded between June 2024 and September 2025. While the mileage is relatively low, the age of the vehicle makes the degradation of rubber components and seals inevitable, as seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record repeatedly flags worn suspension arm bushes, ball joints with play, and severely deteriorated dust covers. These issues can lead to uneven tyre wear and poor handling if ignored. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for thin brake pads and significantly worn discs suggests that the previous owner only replaced braking components once they reached a critical threshold rather than following scheduled intervals. The history also notes a persistent non-excessive gearbox oil leak that has been present in 2023, 2024, and 2025. You should check the gearbox casing for active weeping and ensure the oil level is correct after a test drive. Given the past failures for lighting and tyres, the buyer should also verify that all bulbs are functional and tread depths are adequate, as the record suggests the vehicle requires frequent attention to remain MOT-compliant.
