1997 NISSAN MICRA1.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the final recorded entry, though the data is now over eleven years lapsed. The most recent test in May 2015 at 122,462 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This suggests the car was in a good mechanical state at that time, but the lack of any testing data since 2015 means the current condition of the structural integrity and safety components remains entirely unverified. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 29-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,223 miles per year. Between May 2012 and May 2015, the car covered 12,752 miles, indicating consistent but low-intensity use. However, the eleven-year gap in the last recorded MOT suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for an extended period, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, brake fluid contamination, and corrosion of fuel lines regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension, as the history shows previous issues to rubber. The 2013 test flagged a deteriorated offside steering rack gaiter and a damaged offside front CV joint gaiter. While these were noted or addressed, rubber components of this age are prone to cracking and rot when left idle. Inspect the underbody for significant structural rust on the sills and floor pans, and check the brake calipers for seizing or pitted discs caused by the long period of inactivity.
