Insight summary

Nissan Pixo is a rare model in this snapshot, with 9,899 represented vehicles and 0.02% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 73.9% from 78,308 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 69,399 miles and an average age of 14.6 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 69,399 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by other, and the most frequent defect themes are driveshaft boots, lighting and horn not working. The practical read is that the Nissan Pixo looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
