2010 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · LR10 XSX

The 2010 Nissan Pixo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass recorded on 10 March 2026 at 98,284 miles with zero defects. This is a marked improvement over earlier years, where the tester flagged multiple items across consecutive tests. The most recent result suggests the previous owner addressed outstanding faults promptly, and the vehicle has since remained free of advisories or failures for over a year. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,143 miles per year, which is typical for a city car of this age. The gap between the March 2023 test at 83,590 miles and the February 2025 test at 94,171 miles shows about 10,581 miles covered in just under two years, indicating consistent daily use rather than long periods standing. The record is well-documented with no significant gaps, giving confidence that the mileage progression is genuine and the car has been driven regularly. Buyers should still inspect the front suspension and steering components closely. In February 2024 at 89,405 miles, the tester flagged excessive play in the offside front drag link end ball joint and slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing. Both items were rectified before the retest on the same day, but wheel bearings and track rod ends on small city cars wear faster under urban driving conditions. Listen for humming from the front end at 30 to 50 mph and check for uneven tyre wear, which would indicate a bearing returning to a worn state. The braking system also drew attention in 2024, with front brake pads recorded as less than 1.5 mm thick on both sides at the same 89,405-mile test. While this was clearly addressed, the car has covered nearly 9,000 miles since, so a visual check of pad thickness and disc condition remains worthwhile. Tyre condition has been flagged intermittently, including a nail in the offside rear in 2023 and cracking or perishing noted on the nearside rear. Inspect all four sidewalls for age-related deterioration, particularly if the tyres date from before the 2025 test. The headlamp lenses were also noted as having a product on them in 2023, which may indicate polish residue or early hazing; check beam aim and clarity to confirm light output meets modern standards.
