Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Your primary focus during a viewing should be the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames, rear floor sections, and suspension components across multiple years. You should ask the seller for evidence of any recent rust treatment or welding work, as the 2024 failure for sub-frame corrosion and the 2026 advisory for underside corrosion indicate this is a chronic issue for this specific car.
Additionally, check the exhaust system. The 2024 MOT failure noted a major leak in both the centre section and the rear silencer, which may have been repaired, but you should listen for any unusual noises while the engine is running. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres and suspension bushings, as the 2026 record noted a nail in the nearside rear tyre and worn suspension arm bushes.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band for a vehicle of this era. Fuel economy for the Tiida is typically average for a non-hybrid petrol hatchback of its size.
Maintenance costs may be higher than expected due to the documented issues with the exhaust and suspension. You should budget for potential structural repairs or replacement of corroded components. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
A thorough inspection of the chassis and sub-frames is essential. Specifically, look at the areas mentioned in the 2024 and 2025 MOTs: the front sub-frame and the rear sub-frame mountings. Use a torch to check for heavy scaling or bubbling on the floor sections and sill areas.
Check the suspension components for play or wear. The 2026 MOT highlighted a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and an offside front ball joint with slight play. Additionally, inspect the brake discs; the 2024 record noted significant wear on the rear inner discs, so ensure the braking system has been adequately addressed.
This 2010 silver Nissan Tiida has covered 39,127 miles, which is significantly lower than average for its age. However, the MOT records from 2024 to 2026 show a consistent pattern of structural corrosion affecting the front sub-frame, rear sub-frame, and suspension components. Despite passing recent tests, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests ongoing degradation of the vehicle's underside.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Nissan Tiida to provide a comparative baseline.
