2007 NISSAN MICRA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 76,515 miles followed an initial failure due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and incorrect offside headlamp aim. While the car passed immediately after repairs, the history of failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach a point of failure during official inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 8,431 miles between January 2024 and December 2024, followed by another 11,268 miles covered in the subsequent year. This pattern of low annual usage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components like bushings, seals, and brake lines if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the previous failure of the coil spring in 2025 indicates these components may be nearing age-related fatigue. The 2024 failure involving multiple electrical faults, including lamps and indicators, suggests that the wiring or bulb sockets may suffer from corrosion or ingress. Given the age of the Micra, close attention must be paid to structural integrity on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this model regardless of low mileage.
