1989 NISSAN MICRA1.0L PETROL

The vehicle remains in a state of unknown roadworthiness due to a complete absence of MOT data for seventeen years. The last recorded test took place in April 2009 at 39,707 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects. Because the car has not been tested since this date, the current structural integrity and mechanical safety cannot be verified through official records. The lack of recent data suggests the vehicle has either been in long-term storage or operated outside the standard legal testing regime. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 37-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,073 miles per year. Between December 2005 and April 2009, the car covered only 496 miles, indicating a period of minimal use or long stretches of time spent stationary. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts. The record shows the mileage remained static within under 500 miles for nearly two decades, which is a red flag for fluid components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection for corrosion, specifically targeting the nearside front body where slight rust was noted in 2008. Long-term immobility frequently results in seized brake calipers, perished brake hoses, and degraded tyres. Given the history of sidewall cracking recorded in 2005 and 2008, the current tyres should be checked for dry rot regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the suspension bushings require inspection for cracking, as these components fail when a vehicle sits without movement for extended periods.
