2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · MX02 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2024 with 74,525 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes following isolated failures. The presence of a failure in May 2024 followed immediately by a pass Suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying minor issues to keep the vehicle on the road. The mileage profile is unusually low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the records between April 2019 and January 2023, where the recorded mileage dropped from 149,102 miles to 69,448 miles. This indicates either a data entry error or an odometer irregularity, which undermines the reliability of the mileage history. Despite this anomaly, the low annual usage suggests long periods of standing, which often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical wear from use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and rear wheel arches, where older Micras are prone to corrosion. Because the car has likely sat for extended periods, you should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked tyres, and seized brake calipers. The braking system should be tested specifically for binding or corroded discs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust that develops into pitting.
