2011 NISSAN MICRA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a trend of material degradation related to age. While the car passed its latest test in October 2025 at 16,650 miles, it followed a significant failure just two miles prior. The record shows a recurring pattern of suspension component wear, specifically the front suspension arm bushes, which persist despite the low annual mileage, suggesting that the rubber components are failing due to time-based exposure to environmental elements rather than high-mile mechanical stress. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, having covered only 16,650 miles in total. This averages to just over 1,100 miles per year, which explains the presence of perishing tyres and corroded metalwork components. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,269 miles. Such low usage often leads to the vehicle sitting for extended periods, which correlates with the observed corrosion on brake pipes and perished rubber components noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically regarding the 2024 failure involving a fractured mounting area and a holed seat belt anchorage. Although these specific structural defects were rectified, the presence of such rust on a low-mileage car is a concern. The inspector should also verify the nearside rear brake pipe for ongoing corrosion and check the front tyres for signs of further cracking, as the recurring advisories for edge wear and tyre cracking indicate improper alignment or age-related dry rot.
