2010 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · HG60 NAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to minor consumable monitoring. The most recent test in September 2025 at 35,956 miles passed with only an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn near the legal limit. This represents an improvement over the October 2022 period where the car failed due to multiple tyre-related defects, suggesting the current owner is more attentive to basic safety requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,247 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 7,116 miles covered between the September 2023 and September 2025 tests. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluid surfaces, as evidenced by the perishing noted on the offside rear tyre during the 2022 inspection. A physical inspection must focus specifically on the suspension and braking system components identified in previous tests. The September 2023 record flagged corroded corrosion on both rear coil springs and slight corrosion to the ferrule of both rear brake hoses. A buyer should verify that these springs have not developed hairline fractures or snapped and that the brake hoses remain free of signs of swelling or structural decay. Given the low mileage, checking for dry rot on tyre sidewalls and ensuring the brake calipers have not become seized or heavily corroded due to long periods of stationary use is also critical.
