1998 NISSAN MICRA1.3L Petrol

This 1998 Nissan Micra carries an invalid roadworthiness status given that the official record shows consecutive test failures and no subsequent passes. The maintenance trend points toward terminal neglect, highlighted by the most recent test on 8 February 2022 resulting in a failure. The absence of a valid MOT certificate for over four years means the vehicle cannot legally be driven on public roads and requires comprehensive mechanical re-commissioning before any inspection. The recorded mileage stands at 58,532 miles, averaging roughly 2,090 miles per year over its twenty-eight-year lifespan. This very low annual mileage indicates prolonged periods of inactivity rather than light, regular usage. Extended storage frequently causes severe detriment to a vehicle of this vintage, often resulting in seized components, degraded rubber seals, fuel system contamination, and accelerated corrosion of both mechanical and structural members. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as twenty-eight-year-old Nissan structures are highly susceptible to severe corrosion. The braking system requires immediate scrutiny for seized calipers and perished flexible lines stemming from long periods of non-use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mountings will likely have degraded through age alone rather than heavy mileage wear, demanding full replacement to achieve roadworthiness.
