2012 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AV12 XHD

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 12 November 2025 at 74,141 miles. While the record shows technical failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests these were minor adjustments or consumable-related issues that were rectified quickly. The maintenance trend does not indicate a pattern of mechanical degradation or structural deterioration. At fourteen years of age, the recorded mileage of 74,141 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,300 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,600 miles driven between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 4,400 miles covered by late 2025. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber components per or fluid degradation due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and underbody structure, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion on the chassis and perished rubber bushes rather than mechanical wear. Check the brakes for binding calipers or pitted discs, as brake components can seize when not used frequently. Given the clean MOT history regarding major structural advisories, verifying the condition of the tyres and wiper blades is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from dry rot during its long idle periods.
