2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · KM16 AEP

The 2016 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 July 2025 at 51,946 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2024 and 2023 alongside two anomalous failures in late July 2023 and July 2025 where the tester logged no defects. Such zero-defect failures typically point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared both on re-test within days. Recorded mileage sits at 51,946 against a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,195 miles per year. The odometer moved from 42,755 on 27 July 2023 to 48,507 on 1 August 2024, then to 51,940 by 10 July 2025. That is light annual use with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. Low mileage of this order often means longer standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop even when the test sheet stays clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and likely intermittent use. The MOT record flags no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, so no recurring wear pattern emerges from the data. The two defect-free failures warrant a check of the vehicle's paperwork and test centre history rather than any mechanical concern. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on underbody corrosion and brake caliper binding after standing, plus confirmation that the 2025 failure was purely procedural. The Micra's history implies conscientious if minimal use by prior keepers, with no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or structural neglect.
