Our Verdict

A low-mileage example that has passed al

Prioritise checking whether the corroded brake pipes and coil springs flagged in the June 2026 MOT have been replaced. Because these issues appeared as early as 2023 and persisted into 2026, you should verify if the previous owner ever addressed these advisories or simply managed them until the next test.

Negotiate the price based on the likely cost of replacing these corroded components if they remain unaddressed. Ensure you review the service history for any evidence of suspension work, as the model's aggregate data highlights suspension arms as a common failure point, and this specific vehicle had a worn suspension arm bush noted in 2023.

Powered by a 1198cc petrol engine, this Micra is designed for efficiency and low-cost urban commuting. It typically falls into a low insurance group and a modest tax band, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city users.

Maintenance costs are generally low for this model, although the recurring corrosion issues on this specific car may increase short-term spending. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,200.

Carefully inspect the rear of the vehicle for corrosion on the brake pipes and coil springs, as these were specifically flagged in the 2023, 2024, and 2026 MOT tests. Check the front MacPherson strut gaiters and the condition of the headlamp lenses, which were noted as defective in 2025.

Given that suspension arms and tyres are top failure reasons for this model across 294,367 analysed vehicles, pay close attention to the front suspension bushings for play and the tyre sidewalls for the cracking or perishing mentioned in the 2023 record.

This 2015 grey Nissan Micra has covered 38,308 miles, which is below the model average. While it has a consistent pass record across five MOT tests, the history reveals recurring advisories for corroded brake pipes and coil springs. It offers a low-mileage proposition, though the data suggests a need for attention to the chassis and braking system.

The Nissan Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77.0%, with the most frequent failures occurring in the suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
