NISSAN MICRA2004 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2004 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 at 62,126 miles, which recorded no defects. However, a prior failure on 2025-01-13 at the same mileage—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential unresolved issues. The absence of mechanical or structural faults in subsequent tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the repeated testing within a short timeframe raises questions about consistency in addressing underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 62,126 miles over 22 years equates to approximately 2,824 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged inactivity. The MOT history shows a two-year gap between the 2022-12-16 test (56,359 miles) and the 2024-01-15 test (57,039 miles), followed by a 14-month interval to the 2025-01-13 test. This sparse data lacks detailed defect records, offering limited insight into long-term wear patterns. The low mileage, however, reduces typical age-related degradation in components like suspension bushes and brake discs, though it does not eliminate risks from corrosion or mechanical fatigue. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common in older vehicles with low mileage. The absence of exhaust emissions or structural integrity issues in MOT records is reassuring, but the failed test in 2025-01-13 warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved faults. Checking for rust in load-bearing chassis areas and verifying brake disc thickness would provide clarity on the car’s mechanical health, particularly given the lack of detailed defect reporting in the MOT history.
