AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2021 Nissan Micra is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-30 at 43,584 miles confirming no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle has passed all tests since 2024, including a 2025-03-27 inspection at 34,352 miles. Despite a duplicated entry for the same date and mileage listing both “PASSED” and “FAILED,” the absence of recorded defects in all tests suggests consistent adherence to safety standards. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns are flagged in the history, indicating the car has been maintained to acceptable levels. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 8,717 miles annually over five years. A notable jump from 22,145 miles (2024-03-20) to 34,352 miles (2025-03-27) reflects a 12,207-mile increase in 12 months, slightly above average but not excessive. The subsequent 9,232-mile rise to 43,584 miles by 2026-03-30 suggests steady use without significant gaps, which could imply regular driving rather than prolonged inactivity. The MOT records lack detailed defect reports, leaving limited insight into specific maintenance practices beyond the absence of failures. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the records, so a thorough underbody examination for rust or damage is advisable. While the MOT history indicates no critical issues, the lack of detailed defect data means physical inspection of high-mileage components is essential to confirm long-term reliability.
