NISSAN MICRA2010 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2010 Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 26 April 2025 at 56,639 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Prior tests in April 2024 and April 2023 each logged a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileages, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against either failure, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than confirmed component faults. Mileage accumulation is low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, totalling 56,639 miles or roughly 3,540 miles per year. The record shows 24,691 miles at the April 2023 test, rising to 42,292 miles by April 2024, then 56,639 miles by April 2025. That equates to around 17,600 miles added in the last two years, a moderate increase from earlier sparse use but still light annual running. The clean defect sheets across all entries suggest either careful storage or minimal harsh driving, though long stationary periods common at this mileage can age rubber suspension bushes and brake caliper seals without triggering advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion on sills and subframes, as the Micra of this era suffers hidden rust where moisture gathers. The tester recorded no advisories on tyres, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but the twin fail-pass entries on 22 April 2023 and 27 April 2024 warrant verification that no binding calipers or worn coil springs were overlooked at those tests. Low mileage and absent advisories do not exempt the car from perishing wiper blades or flat-spotted tyres after standing. Given the sparse and clean record, the vehicle reads as a lightly used example with no escalating fault pattern. Confirm roadwheel alignment and handbrake efficiency on site, since these items degrade silently under infrequent use and would not appear in a defect-free MOT line.
