2008 Nissan Micra 1.5L Diesel · RE58 ADO

This Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 150,351 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,353 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between April 2025 and April 2026, where the odometer rose from 138,209 to 150,351 miles. This jump of over 12,000 miles in a single year is higher than the previous interval between May 2023 and April 2024, which saw only 1,105 miles added. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023 to 2026 records is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the data indicates a well-maintained car, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and suspension components for corrosion. High-mileage Micras often develop rust on the sills and rear subframe, and the lack of recorded defects may simply reflect a lenient testing regime rather than a pristine underbody. Focus your physical inspection on the wear of consumables that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs for lip wear. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals to ensure the engine has been supported beyond the basic requirements of the annual roadworthiness test.
