2004 Nissan Micra 1.4L Petrol · S77 VFM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 49,703 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in September 2024 at 48,839 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified quickly without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,259 miles per year. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 5,343 miles, showing a consistent and modest usage pattern of rarely fewer than 2,000 miles annually. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system. However, long periods of stationary time can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which isn't always reflected in the mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and lower sills, as older Micras are prone to structural corrosion that may not manifest until it is significant. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished caused by age rather than physical wear. You should also check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from surface oxidation. The lack of recorded advisories in the latest tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the age of the components remains the primary factor for potential failure.
