2008 NISSAN MICRA1.2L Petrol

This Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its MOT tests. The most recent result on 16 October 2025 at 114,320 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with safety and emissions standards. While the record shows a failure and a pass on the same day in October 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial fix resolved immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,351 miles per year. Between 2 July 2022 and 16 October 2025, the odometer rose from 102,276 to 114,320 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The MOT history is unusually clean for an eighteen year old vehicle, with no recorded advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs across the last four years. The absence of flagged corrosion is positive, though the lack of documented wear on consumables suggests the previous owner may have performed maintenance outside of the MOT process. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for structural rust on the sills and chassis, as older Micras can suffer from corrosion in these areas. Verify the condition of the clutch and engine mounts, as these mechanical components are subject to wear at 114,000 miles but are not evaluated during a standard MOT test.
