Our Verdict
A recommended choice for those seeking a
Focus your attention on the front suspension. The MOT history shows advisories for worn suspension arm pins or bushes in 2022, 2023, and 2024; you should verify if these have finally been replaced or if they are nearing a failure point. Additionally, the records mention distorted road wheel bead rims on multiple occasions (2023, 2024, and 2025), suggesting a history of curb impact or road damage that should be visually inspected.
Check the service history for evidence of brake maintenance, as the offside front discs and pads were noted as worn or pitted in 2022. Ensure that the rear tyres, which were flagged as cracking or perishing in July 2026, have been replaced before purchase to ensure safety and avoid immediate expenditure.
Powered by a 1198cc petrol engine, this Micra is designed for efficiency and low urban running costs. It typically falls into a low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs are generally low for this model, although the MOT history suggests a tendency for suspension components and wiper blades to require attention. Expect annual costs to be dominated by fuel and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the front suspension, specifically the MacPherson strut gaiters and the lower suspension arm bushes, as these have been recurring themes in the MOT advisories. Check the condition of the wheel rims for any visible distortion or dents, particularly on the offside rear and nearside front, as flagged in previous tests.
Perform a visual check of the headlamp lenses and windscreen wipers, which were noted as defective in 2025. Finally, examine the rear tyres for signs of perishing or side-wall cracking, as these were the primary advisories in the most recent July 2026 test.
This 2015 green Nissan Micra has covered 57,750 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage but remains low for its age. The vehicle has successfully passed its last five MOT tests, although the history reveals recurring advisories regarding suspension wear and wheel distortion. Overall, it presents as a stable example of a common petrol hatchback.
The Micra has a 77% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres, all of which have appeared as advisories on this specific vehicle.
