2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LY15 AEJ

The roadworthiness of this Nissan Micra appears excellent, with a stable and clean maintenance trend evidenced by the most recent MOT. The vehicle passed its test on 7 May 2025 at 27,171 miles with zero defects recorded, continuing a consistent streak of clean passes dating back to 2022. The brief failure on 13 May 2024 at 24,081 miles, which was rectified within the same day to achieve a pass, suggests a minor administrative or testing anomaly rather than a significant mechanical failure. With a total of 27,171 miles over an eleven-year lifespan, this vehicle averages approximately 2,470 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile indicates the car has seen light usage, though such infrequent operation can sometimes lead to issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components if the vehicle sat idle for extended periods. The steady, predictable accumulation of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles between annual tests points to a vehicle that has been kept in regular, if limited, operation rather than being left to deteriorate in storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from lack of use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often develop these issues when the brakes are not applied with sufficient force to clear oxidation. Check the tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or perishing, as the rubber may be aging despite having sufficient tread depth. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a visual check of the suspension bushes and the exhaust system remains prudent to ensure that the low mileage has not masked the natural degradation of these age-sensitive parts.
