2012 NISSAN MICRA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT on 11 April 2024 at 57,820 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately during that test. Since then, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures for over two years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,130 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 47,341 miles and April 2024 at 57,820 miles, the car covered 10,439 miles over two years. This consistent low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of low mileage can sometimes mask age-related issues such as the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidification, or brake corrosion from inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure despite low mileage. Given the history of failures, the tester should check for split rubber engine mounts or perished suspension bushes, which are common on older Micras that sit stationary. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from rust during storage periods. Verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed despite the clean mechanical history.
