2010 Nissan Tiida 1.6L Petrol · SN10 AUL

The 2010 Nissan Tiida currently holds no valid MOT pass, with the most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 84,990 miles resulting in a failure and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is unstable. The vehicle failed four times across the last two test cycles yet passed cleanly in August 2023 and August 2024 after earlier failures, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a clear mechanical deterioration, though the repeated August 2025 failures so close to today's date leave the car unroadworthy on paper. Recorded mileage sits at 84,990 against a 16-year-old chassis, averaging roughly 5,312 miles per year. The car covered only 1,571 miles between the August 2023 pass at 81,017 miles and the August 2024 pass at 82,588 miles, then just 2,406 miles to the August 2025 failure at 84,987 miles. Low annual use of this pattern often means long standing periods, which accelerates corrosion on brake discs, suspension arms, and underbody structures even when the odometer stays low. The DVSA entries list no advisories or defects across any test, so the record gives no direct signal of worn tyres, binding calipers, or failing coil springs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension bushes given the age and the standing-time risk. The four failures with zero recorded defects point to either clerical test errors or non-mechanical refusal reasons, and the buyer must confirm the exact failure cause before purchase. Given the clean defect history but repeated recent failures, the prior owner likely neglected to resolve whatever blocked the certificate rather than addressing wear items. Verify the outstanding failure reason at point of sale and check for hidden rust or perished rubber that low-mileage storage will have promoted.
