What the numbers say about the Nissan Pixo
The number of Nissan Pixos on the road is down 8.5% on a year earlier, behind the +1.5% for all cars and behind Nissan as a whole (+0.8%). It peaked at 13,703 at the end of June 2016 and has fallen 29.7% since.
Only 0 were first registered in the UK from July 2025 to June 2026, so the Nissan Pixo is effectively no longer sold new here: the number on the road can only shrink as cars are scrapped, exported or taken off the road.
100% of licensed Nissan Pixos are petrol, against 54% of all cars. There are almost no electric or plug-in versions on the road.
100% of those licensed at the end of 2025 were first used in 2015 or earlier (all cars: 44%), and 5.5% of registered Nissan Pixos are SORN against 9.9% of all cars.

How old Nissan Pixos on the road are
Official data from DfT table VEH0124: cars licensed and SORN at 31 December 2025 in the whole UK, by the year the car was first used (for a car imported used, that is its first use abroad). This table is annual and UK-wide, so its total (10,283 licensed) differs from the quarterly Great Britain figure.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 463 | 4.5% | 12 |

Limitations
Licensed means taxed or tax-exempt and allowed on the road at the quarter end; SORN cars are registered but declared off the road. DfT groups cars by its own “generic model” (NISSAN PIXO), which 73 Auto maps to the Nissan Pixo; body styles and derivatives sold under that name are included. The Great Britain quarterly figures and the UK annual age table are separate official tables, so their totals differ slightly.
