2005 Nissan Micra 1.6L Petrol · SH55 AHJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving trend in its maintenance history. Following the most recent test in June 2025 at 98,409 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been successfully addressed. The transition from failures in the mid-2020s to clean passes suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults to maintain DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,686 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 2,754 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 2,865 miles between June 2024 and 2025. This low accumulation generally means less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components such as suspension seals, bushes, and perished brake lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Micras of this era are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. While the record shows recent clean passes, the previous failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle requires attention to specific components that may fail over time. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers and check the suspension bushings for play, ensuring that the low annual usage has not resulted in dried components or perished rubber parts.
