2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BN56 AFO

The 2006 Nissan Micra shows a stable roadworthiness trend with its most recent test on 23 September 2022 returning a pass at 106,975 miles and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the September 2021 and October 2020 tests also passed with no advisories. The only blemishes are two failed tests on 21 September 2021 and 20 October 2020, both at 103,521 and 101,509 miles respectively, where the DVSA system logged a failure yet recorded no specific defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies in the record rather than confirmed mechanical faults. The odometer reads 106,975 miles against twenty years of service, an average of roughly 5,349 miles per year. The car covered just 3,466 miles between the October 2020 test and the September 2022 pass, confirming light annual use. Gaps exist between entries, with no tests logged from 2022 to the present date in July 2026, leaving a potential four-year untested period that a buyer must clarify. Low mileage of this kind often means prolonged standing, which accelerates tyre perishing, brake caliper seizing, and underbody corrosion despite clean MOT sheets. Given the sparse history, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or exhaust emission issues appear in the data. The absence of advisories across passes indicates previous owners presented the car in acceptable condition at test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and binding calipers, since standing vehicles degrade unseen between tests. Verify the reason for the two defect-free failures and confirm whether the vehicle has been SORN or off-road since September 2022. Check for stale fuel, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded rubber components before any road use.
