Our Verdict
Not recommended for buyers seeking a low-maintenance vehicle. Thorough inspection and price negotiation are essential due to repeated mechanical issues.
Prioritise a detailed mechanical inspection, focusing on the brake system, tyres, and suspension components. Check for a full service history to verify maintenance records. Negotiate the price significantly due to the vehicle’s high mileage and repeated MOT failures. Be wary of potential hidden costs from the exhaust system corrosion and worn brake discs. Consider a pre-purchase survey to assess the extent of repairs needed.
The 1.5L petrol engine offers average fuel economy of 40-50 mpg, resulting in moderate fuel costs. As a 2009 model, it falls into a mid-range insurance group (estimated £100-£150 annually). Tax is £145 per year for CO2 emissions of 159g/km. Maintenance costs are elevated due to frequent brake and tyre replacements, with annual repair expenses potentially exceeding £500. Estimated total annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Inspect the brake discs for wear and pitting, as multiple MOTs highlight this issue. Check all tyres for cracks and tread depth, as several have been flagged for damage. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, which was noted in the 2025 MOT. Verify the battery’s stability and the suspension components for wear, particularly the ball joint dust covers. Look for signs of fluid leaks or further corrosion in the underbody.
This 2009 Nissan Cube has a high mileage for its age, with multiple MOT failures indicating potential mechanical and safety concerns. Recent inspections highlight issues with brakes, tyres, and suspension components, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs. The vehicle’s history shows recurring problems with brake discs, tyres, and corrosion, which may impact reliability.
No aggregate data available for the Nissan Cube model, but this vehicle’s history indicates potential reliability concerns related to brakes, tyres, and corrosion.
