2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · JOI 1066

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-28 confirms this 2015 Nissan Micra remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 57,825 miles. The consistent pass history—spanning four consecutive tests from 2022 to 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical failures or advisories that would suggest worsening conditions. However, the duplicate entry for July 2023 (a failed test followed immediately by a pass at the same mileage) is unusual and warrants scrutiny, as it implies either a retest or an administrative error. The absence of advisories or major faults in the latest tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though this does not preclude hidden issues in components like suspension bushes or coil springs that fall outside MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 57,825 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 5,257 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—ranging from 11 to 13 months—shows no prolonged periods of neglect, but the static mileage suggests the car has either been lightly used or stored for extended periods. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation (e.g., sudden jumps between tests) also reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on high-stress components like brakes or drivetrain. Still, the low mileage could mask deferred maintenance, as owners may delay servicing when a vehicle isn’t frequently driven. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear items not always captured in MOT tests. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Structural integrity—particularly for corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe—should also be examined, as rust can develop even at low mileages if the car has been exposed to moisture or poor storage conditions. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential.
