Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a low-mileage cit
Your primary focus should be on the vehicle's structural integrity. Although the 2026 MOT showed no defects, the 2024 and 2025 records specifically flagged corrosion on the rear axle and both rear sills. You should check if any remedial welding or rust treatment was performed between 2025 and 2026.
Because the mileage is so low, rubber components may be more prone to age-related degradation than wear from use. Look for signs of perished hoses or seals. Additionally, ensure the tyres are relatively fresh, as the 2023 MOT noted age cracks in the front tyres, suggesting that even with plenty of tread, the rubber may be nearing the end of its safe lifespan due to time rather than distance.
With a small 998cc petrol engine, this Micra is designed for economical urban driving. It sits in a low insurance group and a likely low tax band, making it an affordable option for new drivers or those seeking minimal overheads.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally low, though you should budget for occasional repairs to suspension components, which is a common failure point for this model type. Given the low annual mileage, your estimated annual running costs will be heavily weighted towards insurance and tax rather than fuel.
Inspect the underside of the car thoroughly using a torch. Specifically, look at the rear axle and the sills (both nearside and offside) to see if the corrosion mentioned in the 2024 and 2025 MOTs has been addressed or if it is progressing.
Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, even if the tread looks deep, following the previous advisory for age cracks. Finally, check the suspension arms and headlamps, as these are statistically common failure points for the Nissan Micra according to aggregate model data.
This 2000 Nissan Micra (X763CAU) presents with remarkably low mileage, having covered only 25,166 miles in 26 years. While the recent MOT history shows signs of age-related corrosion on the sills and rear axle, the most recent test in July 2026 passed with no defects recorded. It represents a very low-use example of this petrol-engined hatchback.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% MOT pass rate, with common issues often relating to suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
