2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AF10 VPV

The 2010 Nissan Micra presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 9 March 2026 at 142,243 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded period. The vehicle cleared its most recent test with no defects logged, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the official history. Recorded mileage rose from 133,687 on 11 March 2024 to 138,088 on 19 March 2025, then to 142,243 on 9 March 2026. That equates to roughly 4,400 miles in the first year and 4,155 in the second, well below the implied average of 8,890 per year for a sixteen-year-old car. The lower annual use suggests lighter running rather than sustained standing, though the sparse three-year record limits deeper wear analysis. Two failed entries on the same dates as passes in 2025 and 2026 carry no recorded defects, pointing to administrative or presentational anomalies rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 142k mileage, as these items accrue fatigue absent from a defect-free MOT sheet. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checks for corrosion, a common omission on visual tests when not flagged. The clean advisories across all three years imply previous owners addressed consumables before test rather than neglecting basic upkeep. Verify service history to confirm cambelt and fluid intervals, since the MOT alone cannot evidence internal drivetrain care on this high-mileage Micra.
