NISSAN MICRA2005 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean record of passes, though the most recent MOT date of 21 June 2022 means the car has been without a valid certificate for over four years. The 2022 test at 79,208 miles passed without any defects or advisories, suggesting the car was in a roadworthy state at that time. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,772 miles per year. Between June 2019 and June 2022, the car covered 16,926 miles, indicating consistent but light use during that period. The failure on 4 May 2021 followed by a pass six days later at 72,269 miles suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly, though the record does not specify the fault. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Vehicles that stand for long periods or cover very low mileage often suffer from binding calipers, perished suspension bushes, and cracked tyre sidewalls. The lack of recorded advisories is positive, but the four-year gap since the last test increases the risk of seized brake discs or degraded fluids. Check the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the chassis makes structural rust a primary concern. Verify the current state of the battery and engine seals, as low-use vehicles frequently develop leaks or electrical failures due to inactivity.
