NISSAN MICRA1996 · 1.0L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently uncertain as the most recent MOT record is now over seventeen years old. The last recorded test occurred in April 2009 at 145,339 miles, which was a pass following a failure nine days prior. Because no tests have resulted since 2009, there is no verifiable evidence of the current mechanical or structural state of the car. The historical trend during that final period shows a vehicle struggling with progressive corrosion and wear before it ceased regular testing. The vehicle has covered 145,339 miles over approximately 30 years, averaging roughly 4,845 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests light use, but the data indicates a significant gap in records after 2009. Between February 2007 at 119,020 miles and April 2009, the car covered 26,319 miles. Such long periods of inactivity often lead to the seizing of brake calipers, degradation of rubber seals, and internal fluid contamination, regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension points. The records from 2008 and 2009 repeatedly flagged excessive corrosion on the rear suspension component mounting areas and brake pipes. Given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recent data, these areas are likely to suffer from advanced rot or structural failure. The tester should also check the Macpherson struts and anti-roll bar linkages for play, as these were previously identified points of failure in the system.
