2018 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · LN 555

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of mechanical component wear. In the most recent test on July 2025 at 25,888 miles, the tester flagged advisories for both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. While these did not result in a failure, they represent a departure from the clean records seen in the previous four tests between 2021 and 2024. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 16,406 miles and July 2025 at 25,888 miles, the car covered only 9,482 miles. This consistent low usage suggests short-distance commuting. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components and seizing of brake hardware due to lack of heat cycles and movement. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the arm bushes. Since both sides were noted simultaneously, the rubber degradation is likely due to age and environmental exposure rather than impact. You should also verify the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or seizing, as low-mileage cars frequently develop rust corrosion on the braking surfaces. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust failures in the history indicates the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
