NISSAN MICRA2005 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during its most recent inspection. The test on August 11, 2025, at 117,450 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day which suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying any identified faults immediately to ensure compliance. The lack of recurring advisories across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently in a good state for a vehicle of this age. The mileage profile shows a consistent low-use pattern, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year over its twenty-one year life. Between the July 2023 test at 103,501 miles and the August 2024 test at 111,387 miles, the car covered 7,886 miles, with another 6,063 miles recorded in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts and seals degrading due to age rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity, specifically the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans, where older Micras are prone to corrosion despite low mileage. Given the clean records, the tester should also verify the suspension bushes for cracking or perished rubber, as these age significantly over two decades. It is also wise to check the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for seizing, as low-mile vehicles can suffer from surface rust if the braking system is not used frequently.
