2011 Nissan Tiida 1.6L Petrol · PO11 EWV

The 2025‑02‑04 MOT at 118,390 miles confirms that the Nissan Tiida remains roadworthy, though it carries several advisory defects. The front brake disc shows pitting and wear, the front pads are thin, and the front suspension mounting area is corroded, yet the tester did not deem any of these conditions serious enough to fail the vehicle. Repeated findings of the same brake and suspension issues across the 2023 and 2025 tests indicate a stable maintenance trend rather than a clear worsening or improvement. Mileage has risen steadily from 36,591 miles in March 2015 to the current 118,390 miles, averaging about 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. The intervals between tests are short, with the 2020‑01‑28 record at 83,293 miles followed by a 2021‑02‑26 test at 95,964 miles, showing a 12,673‑mile jump in one year, and subsequent increments of roughly 12,000 to 13,000 miles per year until the latest reading. No prolonged periods of inactivity are evident in the documented history. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring suspension faults, examining the front and rear suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, and inspect the corroded mounting areas for structural weakness. The front brake disc and pads should be measured for remaining thickness and for any scoring that could indicate imminent failure, while the rear brake pipes, repeatedly noted as corroded and greasy, merit a close visual and tactile check for rust penetration. Finally, the rear structural rust and the history of exhaust leaks demand verification of chassis rigidity and exhaust integrity before purchase.
