2005 Nissan Micra S 1.2L Petrol · LS05 AEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT pass on 5 May 2025 at 96,311 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the latest test recorded no defects or advisories. This follows a pattern of immediate rectification after failure, suggesting the owner addresses required repairs promptly to secure a certificate. The mileage is low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,586 miles per year. However, the records show a significant discrepancy in the odometer readings. The vehicle was recorded at 101,477 miles during a failed test on 26 April 2025, yet the subsequent pass on 5 May 2025 lists the mileage as 96,311 miles. This 5,166 mile reduction in nine days is a critical irregularity that suggests either a clerical error by the tester or potential odometer tampering. A buyer must investigate the mileage discrepancy before proceeding. While the MOT history shows no specific mechanical failures like suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or structural rust, the lack of detailed defect data for the failures in March and April 2024 and April 2025 is unusual. The tester flagged failures on 10 March 2024, 30 March 2024, and 26 April 2025, but the records provide no specific technical reasons for these results. Physical inspection should focus on the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as these are common failure points for this age of Nissan Micra. Check the condition of the brake calipers and suspension components to ensure the previous failures were not related to recurring mechanical degradation. Verify the service history to see if the low mileage reflects consistent use or long periods of standing, which can lead to perished rubber seals and degraded fluids.
