2010 Nissan Cube MOT pass rate: 67.8% (2,781 tests)
Is the 2010 Cube getting worse?
Pass rate of 2010-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 68.4% +0.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 66.6% -0.5 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 68.3% +1.5 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2010 Cube?
The median tested example shows 82,752 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
