2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AV59 JBU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 62,284 miles with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a successful pass in September 2024, which rectified a failure that occurred just one day prior. The transition from a failure to a defect-free certificate indicates that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical issues to ensure the vehicle met legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,664 miles per year. Data shows a period of low use between September 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered only 1,721 miles in twelve months. However, usage increased sharply between September 2024 and 2025, with 13,142 miles clocked in that single year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or the corrosion of brake surfaces due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of corrosion in the sills and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age rather than mechanical wear. Given the failure in September 2024, it is advisable to verify the specific component that caused that failure to ensure the repair was robust rather than a temporary fix. Inspect the tyres for cracking or sidewall rot, as low mileage often exceeds the actual chemical life of the rubber.
