Is the Nissan Pixo driven more or less than average, and does that change the picture?

This fleet is driven less than average. Matched on annual mileage as well as age (test chains 2019–2024), the index is 105.9, on the other side of normal, so both readings are shown.

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

How many years is a Nissan Pixo likely to last?

Nissan Pixos tend to last: at ten years old the typical one has about 5.5 more years of MOTs ahead, more than the median model. This is a forecast from the survival curve and may not come true.

If a Nissan Pixo fails, does it fail again?

Nissan Pixos that fail once are much more likely to fail again: 38.3% failed the next MOT after a fail, against 28.1% after a pass (test chains 2019–2024). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 41.2% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Nissan Pixo cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Nissan Pixos tested at age 11, about 32 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 15, about 38. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Does the Nissan Pixo fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 56.1% of Nissan Pixos failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 11,942 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: none point the same way as Britain, the Netherlands do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.

Nissan Pixo MOT: quick answers

What is the Nissan Pixo first-time MOT pass rate?

63.7% of first attempts passed in 2024 (11,513 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 11,513 primary tests: 36.3% failed first time and 73.2% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 92.3 is shown separately.
