2005 Nissan Micra S 1.2L Petrol · GHZ 5103

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-10-01 at 87,201 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, no subsequent tests have been registered, leaving a five-year gap to the current date of 2026-07-16. This absence of recent data raises concerns about unmonitored mechanical degradation, particularly given the car’s age and low annual mileage. The historical record shows no recurring critical faults, but the lack of up-to-date inspection evidence limits confidence in its current roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 87,201 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 4,152 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. Notable gaps exist between tests: from 2018-10-03 (74,492 miles) to 2019-09-19 (78,333 miles), a 3,841-mile increase over 11 months, followed by a 8,868-mile jump to 87,201 miles by 2021-10-01. Such irregularity suggests potential periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, rubber component failure, and battery degradation. The 2019-09-16 failure at 78,329 miles recorded no defects, an anomaly that warrants scrutiny. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage often correlates with static weight stress on these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, while the exhaust system’s integrity is critical given the lack of recent emissions testing. Structural rust, particularly in the underbody or chassis, requires close examination, as prolonged inactivity can exacerbate corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories does not eliminate risks, but the vehicle’s maintenance history lacks evidence of proactive mechanical care.
