Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a
When inspecting this specific Micra, pay close attention to the suspension components. The MOT history shows repeated advisories for suspension arm pins and bushes in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting these parts may be nearing the end of their service life. You should also check for any signs of the 'not excessive' oil leak mentioned in the 2025 and 2022 records to ensure it does not become a more significant issue.
Negotiate based on the potential upcoming maintenance required for the nearside rear wheel bearing, which was flagged with slight play in the latest test. Ensure you ask for a full service history to complement the MOT data, specifically looking for evidence of oil leak repairs and suspension component replacements. Given the age of the vehicle, check the condition of all rubber seals and tyres, as the 2022 record noted perishing rear inner tyres.
As a 1.2L petrol model, this Micra is positioned in a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs are expected to be moderate, though you should budget for suspension repairs and wheel bearing replacements given the recent MOT trends. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,100.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history specifically highlights recurring issues with suspension arm pins/bushes and a recurring oil leak. A test drive is essential to check for any knocking or clunking sounds from the front or rear suspension, which would correlate with the advisories seen in 2024 and 2025.
Additionally, inspect the nearside rear wheel area for any noise or vibration, as the most recent MOT noted slight play in the wheel bearing. Finally, check the clarity of the headlamp lenses; the 2022 record noted a product on the lenses, and while it wasn't a failure then, it is worth ensuring light output remains sufficient.
This 2006 blue Nissan Micra has covered 53,865 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor suspension wear and oil leaks in recent years, though it passed its most recent test in October 2025. While it has faced failures related to lighting in the past, the mileage profile makes it an interesting candidate for a budget-conscious buyer.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.9% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and headlamps being common failure points.
