2013 Nissan Pixo 1.0L Petrol · LR13 UAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from minor electrical failures to mechanical wear. While it passed the most recent test in March 2025 at 66,661 miles, the tester identified several suspension and braking advisories that require immediate attention. This follows a period of failures in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the car is now where components where age-related degradation despite its low mileage. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,661 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,128 miles. This usage pattern is consistent across the records, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2025. However, the low mileage often masks the effects of time on rubber and metal. The presence of perished bushes and corroded springs in the latest test suggests that the vehicle has likely suffered from environmental exposure or short-trip urban use rather than high-kilometer wear. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the March 2025 test flagged perished nearside and offside lower suspension arm bushes alongside a corroded offside front coil spring. These issues can lead to poor handling and uneven tyre wear. The front brake discs are also noted as pitted and scored, which is common for low-use vehicles that sit for extended periods, but they indicate the discs will likely need replacement soon to maintain effective stopping performance. The history reveals a pattern of neglected basic maintenance, evidenced by the multiple failures in 2023 and 2024 regarding inoperative bulbs and dangerously worn tyres. The buyer should verify that the rear parking brake has been properly adjusted following the 2023 failure. Given the reported corrosion on the coil spring, a thorough underbody check for structural rust is essential to ensure the vehicle remains sound beyond the surface-level advisories.
