NISSAN MICRA1993 · 1.0L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently indeterminate due to a complete lack of MOT data since May 2009. The last recorded test took place seventeen years ago at 69,061 miles, meaning the vehicle has not undergone official testing for decades. Based on the available history, the maintenance trend was volatile leading up to that final record, with the car failing multiple critical structural and mechanical checks before finally passing in May 2009. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. Between May 2007 and May 2009, the vehicle covered only 6,523 miles. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the significant gap in records indicates the vehicle likely spent long periods of stationary. Inactivity in vehicles of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, seizing of brake calipers, and accelerated corrosion on metal surfaces regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritise a thorough structural inspection of the chassis, specifically targeting the offside rear body and body mountings. The 2007 and 2009 tests both flagged excessive corrosion seriously affecting structural integrity, which is a terminal defect that typically progresses rapidly if not treated. The buyer should also inspect the exhaust system for leaks, as noted in the 2007 failure, and check the brake system for binding or perished hoses. Given the seventeen-year gap in documentation, the state of suspension bushes, fuel lines, and tyre age remains entirely unknown and likely high-risk.
