Our Verdict
Highly recommended. This 2013 Nissan Micra presents as an exceptionally well-maintained example with a remarkably clean record.
Given the flawless MOT history from 2021 to 2025, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure that the oil and filter have been changed annually, regardless of the low mileage, to maintain the health of the 1198cc engine. Check for a consistent record of stamps in the service book to confirm the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT record.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the battery. While the car passed its last MOT without defects, components like rubber and batteries degrade over time even with low mileage. If these are nearing the end of their lifespan, use this as a point for a small price adjustment.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an affordable option for urban commuting. You can expect low annual road tax and a modest insurance group, which is typical for the Micra's design as a small city car.
Maintenance costs should remain low given the vehicle's history of stability. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and basic annual servicing, this vehicle is positioned as one of the most economical choices in its class.
While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, always perform a physical check of the bodywork for any minor scuffs or dents common in city cars. Pay close attention to the white paintwork for any signs of fading or previous poor-quality repairs that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure.
Check the interior wear, particularly the driver's seat and steering wheel, to ensure it aligns with the 54,918 recorded miles. Finally, test the electronics and air conditioning system to ensure everything is functioning correctly, as these are common wear points for vehicles of this vintage.
This white 1.2L petrol Micra is a standout choice for a used city car, boasting an exemplary MOT history with zero defects recorded over the last five years. With a current mileage of 54,918 miles, it has been used sparingly and consistently. Its consistent pass rate suggests a vehicle that has been meticulously cared for by its previous owners.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's history of defect-free MOTs suggests high individual reliability.
