1998 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · R436 BMX

The 1998 Nissan Micra passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 at 34,712 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend and current roadworthiness. At 28 years old, the car has logged an average of 1,240 miles per year, a low figure that suggests limited use or long periods of standing, and the mileage has risen steadily from 32,101 miles in July 2022 to 34,712 miles in July 2025 without any large gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, as the July 2023 failure at 32,789 miles was linked to brake binding and subsequent remedial work; the exhaust emissions and brake disc condition should also be verified in person. Overall, the vehicle shows a consistent, defect‑free history in recent testing, but a thorough on‑site assessment of the braking system, suspension geometry, and chassis integrity remains essential before purchase.
