2001 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · WL51 AHY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 13 December 2022 at 85,140 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the car has not undergone a documented inspection in over three years relative to the current date of 19 July 2026, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 25 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,406 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 67,899 miles in January 2020 to 85,140 miles in December 2022. This suggests the car was used sparingly. A notable gap in usage exists between the September 2022 and December 2022 tests, where only 1,794 miles were covered in three months, followed by a total cessation of recorded mileage since the final 2022 entry. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. While the MOT history is remarkably clean with no flagged defects across five tests, the lack of recent activity suggests the car may have been standing for several years. Long periods of inactivity often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded rubber suspension bushes. Particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion, as the DVSA records do not provide a full picture of the underbody condition between tests. Check for leaks in the cooling system and ensure the battery and fluids have not degraded during the extended dormant period. The absence of any recorded advisories is positive, but it does not negate the risks associated with a vehicle that has been off the road since late 2022.
