Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2014 Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean MOT pass record across the last five annual tests. The most recent examination on 6 August 2025 at 26,962 miles returned a pass, with the tester noting only slight cracking or perishing on the nearside front tyre under advisory code 5.2.3 (d) (ii). No failures, no mechanical defects, and no recurring advisories appear anywhere in the sequence from 2021 to 2025. The odometer shows exceptionally low use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Recorded mileage rose from 18,281 on 16 July 2021 to 19,561 by 23 July 2022, then 20,809 on 26 July 2023, 24,452 on 5 August 2024, and 26,962 on 6 August 2025. That averages roughly 2,200 miles per year. The steady year-on-year increments confirm gentle, consistent running rather than long dormant periods or sudden high-mileage bursts. Sparse but clean history suggests the previous keeper carried out basic annual compliance without neglect. A buyer should still inspect the nearside front tyre closely, as the 2025 cracking advisory implies rubber ageing from low-speed, low-heat urban use. Tyres on a car covering 2,200 miles annually can harden and perish long before tread wears out. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have never drawn tester comment, yet twelve years of age warrants a physical check for corrosion and binding, particularly if the vehicle stood unused for weeks at a time. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions have passed without defect at every recorded test. Given the unbroken pass streak and minimal mileage, this Micra shows no evidence of serious mechanical risk in the official record. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm underside condition and brake disc wear, since MOT passes at low mileage do not measure long-term component fatigue.

Our Verdict

Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car. This specific Nissan Micra has an exceptional MOT record and has been used very sparingly since 2014.

Given the very low mileage, your primary focus should be on the health of the rubber components and fluids. Cars that sit for long periods can suffer from 'flat-spotting' tyres or degraded oils, even if the odometer reading is low. Ensure the service history shows regular oil changes regardless of the mileage covered.

Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres. The most recent MOT noted a slightly damaged or perishing nearside front tyre; replacing this should be a priority for the new owner and a valid point for a small price adjustment.

With a small 1.2L petrol engine, this Micra is designed for economy. It will fall into a low insurance group and a modest tax bracket, making it an ideal choice for new drivers or urban commuters.

Maintenance costs are typically low for this model, though you should budget for a full service if the previous owner only followed mileage-based intervals rather than time-based ones. Expected annual costs are low due to the efficient engine size and simple mechanical layout.

Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension. The August 2025 MOT specifically flagged the nearside front tyre as cracking or perishing, which is common for low-mileage vehicles where rubber ages before it wears out. Check all four tyres for similar signs of age-related cracking.

Check for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring or interior, as vehicles with such low annual mileage (averaging roughly 2,000 miles per year recently) are often parked for extended periods. Ensure the battery is holding a strong charge and the brakes are not seized from inactivity.

This 2014 white Nissan Micra is in remarkable condition for its age, showing only 26,962 miles as of its last MOT in August 2025. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing its MOTs with almost no defects recorded over the last five years. It represents a low-risk purchase due to its extremely low usage and stable maintenance profile.

The Nissan Micra is generally regarded as a dependable small car, though specific aggregate data for this generation was not provided for this analysis.
