2020 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · AK20 ADO

The 2026-02-19 MOT passed with a clean overall roadworthiness verdict, indicating the vehicle currently meets legal standards. The maintenance record shows a generally stable trend, with the most recent test confirming no escalation of previously noted faults; the electronic stability control warning that appeared in the June 2025 failure was absent from the February 2026 result. With 28,889 miles recorded at the time of the latest test, the Micra averages roughly 4,800 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2020 model, suggesting limited annual mileage. Mileage rose from 16,094 miles in June 2023 to 28,889 miles by February 2026, an increase of 12,795 miles over three years, or about 4,265 miles annually, with a notable jump of 7,816 miles between the June 2023 and June 2024 tests. Recurring near‑side rear tyre nails and the 2023 near‑side front tyre wear edge indicate possible neglect of tyre maintenance or exposure to road debris, while the 2026 near‑side front wheel distortion points to suspension or steering component wear such as bushes or ball joints. The 2025 ESC warning lamp suggests a sensor or wiring issue that may have been rectified, but the absence of the fault in the latest test implies the repair was effective. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension geometry and bush condition, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, verify tyre tread depth and condition, and check the ESC sensor wiring and related components for any lingering faults, while also looking for structural rust or corrosion that could affect long‑term integrity.
