1999 NISSAN MICRA1.3L Petrol

The vehicle presents a historically stable maintenance trend, with the most recent available DVSA test on 9 November 2021 at 112,262 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, this clearance is over four and a half years old, so current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the supplied history alone. Prior entries show no recurring mechanical faults. The single failure logged on 6 February 2018 at 109,121 miles carried no defects, indicating either an administrative anomaly or a procedural rejection later cleared by a pass on the same day. Mileage accumulation reflects exceptionally light use for a 1999 registered car. The odometer advanced from 106,338 miles at the 27 December 2016 test to 112,262 miles by the November 2021 test, a total of 5,924 miles across nearly five years, averaging roughly 1,185 miles per annum. The final recorded interval shows striking stagnation. Between 18 April 2020 at 112,198 miles and 9 November 2021 at 112,262 miles the car covered only 64 miles. Such a pattern suggests prolonged storage, with the sparse clean record implying previous owners met basic test requirements but used the Micra sparingly. A buyer should commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components not captured by the clean history. The 27-year-old chassis demands scrutiny for corrosion and structural integrity, particularly around sills, suspension mounting points and subframes. Long stationary periods raise the risk of perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres despite absent advisories. The tester logged no exhaust emissions or brake disc concerns, yet rubber components and coil springs degrade with time irrespective of mileage. Verify the circumstances of the 6 February 2018 failure with no defects via DVSA correspondence, as the record offers no mechanical explanation. Given the elapsed test currency, a fresh MOT and thorough pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician remain essential before any road use.
