2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · AX02 ANG

This Nissan Micra has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between December 2021 and December 2025. The most recent test, on 10 December 2025 at 32,383 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear or deferred maintenance. The lack of advisories suggests the tester did not identify any components requiring immediate attention, but this does not guarantee all suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers remain in optimal condition. Buyers should treat this as a baseline for further investigation rather than a definitive assurance of mechanical health. The recorded mileage of 32,383 miles over 16 years—approximately 2,024 miles annually—indicates exceptionally light usage, which may reflect either minimal driving or prolonged periods of storage. There are no abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, with increments averaging around 600 miles per year, suggesting a stable pattern rather than aggressive driving or neglect. The regularity of the MOT cycle also implies the vehicle has not been left untested for extended periods, though this does not account for non-MOT-related maintenance. The low mileage could imply deferred servicing, as some owners delay routine checks when a vehicle is rarely driven. Given the absence of MOT defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points in this model age. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads—especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp conditions. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, warrants close examination, as this is a frequent issue in older Micras. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions tests historically catch only overt failures. While the MOT history is clean, these areas are where wear accumulates silently over time.
