1999 NISSAN MICRA1.3L Petrol

The Nissan Micra presented a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent DVSA test on 6 November 2025 at 102,895 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Historical pattern shows stability rather than deterioration; the vehicle passed again after minor same-day failures in November 2021 and November 2020 with no defects logged, indicating any issues were resolved immediately. Overall maintenance trend is steady with no escalating mechanical concerns across the available record. The only odometer figure supplied is 102,895 miles from the November 2025 examination, implying an average of approximately 3,811 miles per annum over the car’s 27-year life. Such low yearly use suggests gentle commuting or prolonged storage periods. The MOT chronology is sparse: entries jump from 8 November 2021 to 6 November 2025, a four-year void with no captured tests, so accumulated mileage between those dates remains unknown. Prior to 2021 the file shows just two 2020 inspections, both within a day of each other. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer must physically verify age-related components that static records cannot reveal. The tester flagged nothing on brakes, suspension or structure, yet a 1999 hatchback of this mileage may conceal corroded subframes, degraded suspension bushes or binding calipers from standing idle. We recommend lifting the car to inspect weld seams, coil springs and brake discs for rust pitting. The repeated fail-pass pairs on 16–17 November 2020 and 8 November 2021 with zero defects noted hint at trivial rectifications such as wiper blades or lamp alignment rather than deep mechanical faults. Still, confirm exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person, as rubber perishes with time regardless of tread depth. The Micra’s low mileage rewards careful inspection but does not exempt it from quarter-century wear.
