2012 NISSAN MICRA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 45,555 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure exactly the previous day. This sequence suggests a minor, easily rectifiable item that was addressed immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car has maintained a clean record without any recurring advisories or structural degradation over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,254 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the car covered only 1,971 miles, while a more significant jump of 11,350 miles occurred between July 2024 and 2025. This indicates a recent increase in usage frequency. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and corrosion on brake discs due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Because the record shows no previous issues with suspension bushes or exhaust, the priority should be checking for surface rust on the chassis and ensuring the brake lines have not perished. Inspect the brake system for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from these. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres, as they may crack from age despite having significant tread depth.
