2008 NISSAN MICRA1.2L Petrol

The 2008 Nissan Micra is roadworthy per the latest DVSA test on 21 August 2025 at 72,801 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the documented history. A failure logged on the same date with no faults noted, mirroring an earlier 29 August 2023 failure before a 2 September 2023 pass at 70,445 miles, suggests administrative re-entry rather than mechanical deficiency. At 18 years old the vehicle displays 72,801 miles, an average of about 4,044 miles annually. Recording shows gentle use: it covered 1,356 miles between September 2023 and August 2024, then only 760 miles in the following year. Such low accumulation implies light commuting or extended periods off the road. The MOT dataset is sparse but entirely clean, with no advisories on tyres, wipers, or suspension components. A purchaser should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive items the tests did not flag. The tester logged no corrosion, worn suspension bushes or fractured coil springs, yet structural integrity around sills and subframes demands scrutiny for rust. Brake discs and calipers may appear serviceable on paper, but binding calipers can develop unnoticed during long storage. Previous owners clearly avoided recorded defects, though low mileage can conceal perished seals and exhaust emissions component decay.
