2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AK04 AEZ

The Nissan Micra currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent examination on 17 July 2025 at 92,746 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an administrative outcome that leaves the vehicle legally unroadworthy until a fresh pass is logged. Prior to that, the test history from July 2022 through July 2024 shows a stable pattern of passes with no advisories, so the trend is not mechanically worsening but the latest failure interrupts an otherwise clean sequence. The odometer sat at 85,862 miles on 13 July 2022, rose to 85,865 by 23 July 2022, then climbed to 87,360 in July 2023, 91,553 in July 2024, and 92,746 by July 2025. Against a 2004 build date this equates to roughly 4,200 miles per year, a low figure for a 22-year-old car. The sparse, advisory-free record gives little insight into consumable turnover, though the low annual use suggests long idle periods that can encourage corrosion and flat-spotted tyres rather than high-mileage drivetrain fatigue. A buyer must secure a valid pass before road use given the open 2025 failure. With no defects or advisories ever listed across five tests, the DVSA data alone shows no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural rust issues. Still, the age and low mileage mean a physical inspection should check for hidden sill corrosion, perished rubber components, and seized calipers from standing. Given the clean but thin history, verify the 2025 failure cause at the testing station and confirm the vehicle has not been off-road untreated. The previous owner kept the Micra to a light annual routine with no recorded neglect, yet the absent advisories offer no reassurance on wear now past the test horizon.
