2011 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AF11 KUX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-23 at 38,262 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the same date also lists a fail with identical mileage, creating an inconsistency that undermines reliability. Previous tests from 2024-11-20 (35,484 miles) and 2023-10-26 (31,231 miles) were both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the duplicate entries and lack of detailed defect reports limit the ability to assess mechanical health beyond basic compliance. The recorded mileage of 38,262 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 2,551 miles annually, which is low for the vehicle’s age. This suggests minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like seized components or degraded fluids. Notably, the 2023-10-26 test at 31,231 miles and the 2024-11-20 test at 35,484 miles show a 4,253-mile increase over 13 months, a moderate rate that aligns with light use. However, the absence of detailed fault codes or advisories in the records leaves gaps in understanding wear patterns. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, as low mileage can mask hidden rust. Check suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for signs of fatigue or deformation. The lack of brake-related defects in the MOTs does not preclude wear, so a test drive should focus on pedal feel, rotor condition, and caliper movement. Verify the vehicle’s actual mileage against the odometer and confirm the validity of the MOT entries, as the duplicate 2025-10-23 results raise concerns about data accuracy.
