2000 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · W861 MDX

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy as it failed its most recent MOT on 17 September 2024. The maintenance trend is erratic, characterized by a pattern of initial failures followed by passes. The record shows the car failed on 19 July 2022, 12 September 2023, and 17 September 2024. While the 2022 and 2023 failures were resolved quickly, the vehicle has remained in a failed state for nearly two years relative to the current date of August 2026. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty-six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,221 miles per year. Between 28 September 2022 and 22 September 2023, the car covered 9,113 miles. However, the odometer remained static at 109,750 miles from the September 2024 failure through to the present date. This suggests the vehicle has been stationary for a significant period, which often leads to seized brake calipers, perished tyres, and battery degradation. A physical inspection must prioritize the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as these Micras are prone to structural rust that may not be captured in a clean record if the car was not presented for testing. The prolonged period of inactivity since September 2024 makes it essential to check for flat-spotted tyres and binding brakes. The buyer should also verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often crack and fail due to age and lack of use rather than mileage.
