2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · MJ55 ABN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-10 at 48,387 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. All tests from 2022 to 2025 resulted in passes, with no recorded issues. The 2022-09-09 failure at 43,713 miles was noted but without specific defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a temporary technical glitch. No recurring faults or escalating issues are evident in the history, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 48,387 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 2,304 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests infrequent operation, which may lead to dry joints in suspension components like bushes or coil springs. The MOT intervals align with annual testing, but the 2022-09-09 test repeated at the same mileage as the prior entry raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven consistently between 2022 and 2025. No rapid mileage spikes or gaps are documented, but the sparse data limits deeper analysis. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or corroded components, given the low mileage and potential for inactivity. The exhaust system and brake discs should be checked for corrosion, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust. While no structural issues are flagged in the MOT records, the 2022 failure—though without defects—warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s electrical or emissions systems. No major mechanical risks are apparent, but the lack of detailed fault reports means a physical inspection remains critical.
