2010 Nissan Cube 1.6L Petrol · VE60 ADX

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 at 92,493 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of recurring mechanical failures. While the history shows past issues with suspension and braking, the lack of advisories in the last two tests indicates that the current owner is actively addressing identified faults before they escalate into significant failures. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 92,493 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,800 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy strain, though it can lead to rubber-based components degrading over time. The mileage accumulation is consistent in recent years, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles driven between tests since 2021. There is a notable gap in the testing record between November 2021 and December 2022, but the vehicle has returned to a standard annual cycle thereafter. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the record reveals a persistent history of wear in this area. The tester flagged suspension arm bushes in both 2020 and 2023, alongside a worn anti-roll bar linkage in 2022. Although these appear to be repaired, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the front assembly is reaching its limit. Check for play in the steering components and excessive movement in the front control arms during a test drive. The braking system also requires attention due to the failure in September 2024 at 84,614 miles regarding an inoperative nearside rear parking brake. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the buyer should verify that the parking brake mechanism is now fully effective and not seizing or sticking. Given the age of the vehicle, a visual check of the chassis for corrosion on exhaust mounting points and brake lines is also advisable, as low-mileage cars often suffer from surface rust if stationary for long periods.
