2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · PN02 ADO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 30 May 2025 with 126,280 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just one or two days before a successful pass, suggesting the owner only addresses defects when prompted by a failure rather than performing proactive mechanical maintenance. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 126,280 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,260 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or sat stationary for extended periods. Between June 2023 at 114,770 miles and May 2024 at 120,412 miles, the car covered only over 5,600 miles, maintaining this consistent annual pattern. However, low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as older Nissan Micras are prone to corrosion in the sills, wing arches, and rear mounting points. Given the low mileage, the inspector must specifically check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes which often fail from age rather than distance. The lack of advisories in the history indicates that either the tester is overlooking minor wear items or the owner replaces components immediately after a failure to ensure a clean certificate.
