2013 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · LM13 HDL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 89,605 miles passed with only a tyre advisory, the previous year showed significant issues with the braking hydraulic system. The trend is improving only in the sense that critical failures are being addressed, but the recurrence of corrosion-related faults suggests that components are neglected until a failure becomes imminent. At 13 years old with 89,605 miles, the car averages approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use urban driving. The data shows steady annual accumulation, for example, 1,026 miles were covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 1,116 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This low annual mileage often leads to accelerated corrosion on brake components due to inactivity, which matches the pipe corrosion seen in the test records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the brake lines and hydraulic components. The 2024 test history flagged multiple brake pipes for excessive corrosion and one offside front brake valve for leaking, which required replacement to pass the subsequent test. You should check for signs of fresh weeping or surface rust at the joints. Furthermore, the nearside rear inner road wheel was noted as slightly distorted in 2024, indicating a past impact that may have affected the alignment or the suspension geometry. The tyres also show a pattern of poor maintenance, with advisories for uneven wear and reaching the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025. This often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes. Given the age of the vehicle and the recurring hydraulic failures, a structural check of the underbody is essential to ensure that the corrosion noted on the brake pipes has not spread into the chassis members.
