2012 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AF12 YJL

The 2012 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 65,942 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Recorded mileage sits at 65,942 miles against fourteen years of age, an average of roughly 4,710 miles per year. The history shows steady, low annual use: 52,193 miles in March 2022, 55,304 in March 2023, 59,326 in March 2024, 62,660 in March 2025, and 65,942 in March 2026. Annual increments stay between 3,000 and 3,600 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the period. A clean record of this length implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though low standing mileage can disguise latent issues. A buyer should still inspect in person for structural rust on sills and subframes, degraded suspension bushes from age rather than wear, and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Verify the odometer against service stamps and check for fluid leaks or perished hoses the MOT does not capture. The absence of advisories is reassuring, but a 2012 hatchback at low mileage warrants a physical check of brake calipers and coil springs before purchase.
