Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage recorded between 2022 and 2026, the primary concern is vehicle stagnation. You should verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and filters were changed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Check the battery health, as cars that sit for long periods are prone to premature battery failure.
Negotiate the price based on the need for a new nearside rear tyre, as flagged in the most recent MOT. Ensure that all electrical components are functioning correctly, as low-use vehicles can sometimes develop dormant electrical faults.
The 1240cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an affordable option for urban commuting. Insurance costs are typically low for this model, and the 2009 tax bracket for this engine size remains manageable for most budgets.
Maintenance costs for the Micra are generally modest, though you should budget for the replacement of rubber components that may have perished due to age rather than wear. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, road tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
Direct your attention to the nearside rear tyre, which was recorded as slightly damaged or perishing during the January 2026 MOT. While this vehicle has avoided the common Micra pitfalls seen in aggregate data, you should still inspect the suspension arms and headlamps, as these are top failure reasons for this model across the UK.
Inspect the interior for signs of age-related wear and check the brakes for any surface corrosion that can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. A thorough check of the tyre treads and sidewalls across all four corners is advised given the recent advisory.
This 1.2L petrol Nissan Micra has covered 43,689 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests (2022-2026) without a single failure, although the most recent test in January 2026 noted a perishing nearside rear tyre. Its low annual usage suggests it has been used sparingly over the last several years.
The Nissan Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77.0% across nearly 300,000 vehicles, indicating a generally reliable platform.
