2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AD10 OVG

The 2010 Nissan Micra presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 25 March 2024 at 130,465 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. However, the pattern of immediate pass-fail-repass cycles at identical mileages warrants scrutiny. The recorded mileage of 130,465 over roughly sixteen years equates to about 8,154 miles annually, a typical usage rate for a supermini of this age. The DVSA data shows clean passes in March 2022 at 113,511 miles and March 2023 at 124,090 miles, with the latter followed by a same-day failure and repass at the same 124,090 miles. In March 2024 the car failed on 19 March then passed on 25 March, again at an unchanged 130,465 miles. Such zero-mileage gap between failure and pass suggests administrative or minor non-mechanical issues rather than accumulated wear, though the records list no specified defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, particularly chassis rails and sills, given the vehicle's age and the absence of tester comments that might otherwise confirm sound condition. The brake discs, suspension bushes, and coil springs should be visually checked for fatigue or binding calipers, as the MOT entries provide no evidence either way on these components. The sparse, defect-free history implies previous owners maintained basic test compliance but offers no detail on consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades. Given the Micra stood at 130,465 miles across both March 2024 tests, verify the odometer's function and confirm no undocumented lay-up period preceded sale.
