2017 NISSAN MICRA1.2L PETROL

The 2026 test on 2026-02-02 at 128,368 miles was passed, indicating the vehicle has maintained sufficient roadworthiness for the current year. However, this was followed by a failed test on 2026-02-02 at the same mileage, which was the most recent entry, suggesting a significant gap or instability in the maintenance trend. The failure occurred on a date prior to the 2025-02-11 test, which was passed, implying that the car likely experienced a period of extended inactivity or a failure to maintain the required frequency of inspections. The mileage pattern suggests a high accumulation rate of approximately 14,263 miles per year, which is substantial for a 2017 vehicle. This rapid mileage is likely driven by heavy usage rather than long periods of standing, as the vehicle has not had a significant gap in its annual test dates since 2024. The absence of gaps between the 2026 and 2025 tests points to a lack of regular maintenance, which could indicate that the owner has been neglecting routine checks or that the vehicle has been driven for a very short duration. Given the recurring faults in the MOT records, particularly the binding brake binding and the worn suspension bushings, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear. The brake binding issue, which was flagged on 2025-02-11, suggests that the brake system may require immediate attention or adjustment to prevent potential failure. The worn suspension bushings, observed on both front and rear sides, indicate that the suspension components are deteriorating, which could lead to handling issues or reduced ride quality. A thorough physical inspection is required to assess the condition of these components and determine if they can be repaired or if the vehicle requires a full MOT replacement.
