2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · AX02 AGV

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly concerning due to a worsening trend in structural integrity. The most recent test in January 2022 at 101,784 miles resulted in a significant failure caused by excessive corrosion on the offside rear suspension component mounting area. This defect represents a critical degradation from the 2021 test where the corrosion was noted but not yet excessive. The presence of a corroded rear brake pipe and a faulty SRS warning lamp on that same date indicates neglected fundamental safety systems. The vehicle shows very low mileage for its twenty-four-year age, covering only 101,784 miles which averages to approximately 4,241 miles per year. However, the data is now severely outdated as there are no recorded MOT tests since January 2022. Given it is June 2026, the vehicle has gone without a verified roadworthiness check for four years. Low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber components and seals caused by the vehicle sitting stationary, which aligns with the persistent corrosion issues seen in the history. A buyer must perform a thorough underbody inspection focusing specifically on the sills and rear suspension mounting points. The history shows a recurring pattern of structural rust that progressed from an advisory to a major failure between 2020 and 2022. You should also verify the condition of the rear brake pipes and cylinders, as previous tests flagged multiple leaking valves and corrosion in these areas. The reported SRS system fault from 2022 requires a diagnostic check to ensure the airbag system remains functional.
