NISSAN MICRA1994 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a significant risk profile due to a history of severe structural degradation. While it passed its final test in January 2016 with no recorded defects, the preceding history reveals a catastrophic failure of structural integrity. The maintenance trend shows a worsening progression from minor brake pipe corrosion to multiple structural failures involving the front crossmember and seat belt anchorages. Given that no MOT has been recorded for over ten years, the current roadworthiness is entirely unknown and the vehicle is likely unfit for road without extensive investigation. Mileage data is insufficient to establish a consistent usage pattern. The record only shows a recorded jump from 61,672 miles in December 2013 to 73,916 miles in January 2016. This accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles over three years suggests moderate to low annual usage. However, the total absence of mileage data since early 2016 indicates the vehicle has sat stationary or been operated off-road, which accelerates the type of corrosion previously noted in the chassis. A buyer must focus on a rigorous inspection of the chassis and mounting points. The 2016 failure highlighted excessive corrosion across the seat belt anchorors, floor pans, and suspension mounting arches, alongside a holed front crossmember. These are critical safety-related defects that suggest the vehicle suffered from advanced structural rot. You should specifically inspect the rear trailing arm rubber bushes and check for evidence that the oil leak noted in 2013 has been addressed or worsened. The decade-long gap in testing means that any previous surface rust has likely progressed into deep structural failure in the sills and inner wheel arches.
