2002 Nissan Micra 1.3L Petrol · AE02 AWA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent test on 30 September 2025 at 46,421 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just four days prior at 46,417 miles. This specific failure likely involved a minor component adjustment or a light-related issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent test showed no remaining advisories or faults across the platform. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2002, averaging approximately 1,934 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap between the January 2020 and September 2023 tests during which the car covered only 213 miles. Since that period, the vehicle has seen more regular use, covering 9,608 miles in three years. While the low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of inactivity indicated by the data can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and seal integrity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-based wear. Given the age, the structural integrity of the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans must be checked for corrosion, where moisture often accumulates on stationary vehicles. You should also inspect for perished suspension bushes and cracked brake hoses, as these degrade over time regardless of distance. The braking system should be tested for binding calipers or corroded discs, as infrequent use often allows surface rust to pit the metal surfaces.
