2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · B5 RGE

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test in October 2025 at 37,160 miles. This follows a consistent history of annual passes, suggesting the mechanical and structural components have remained within operating parameters. The record shows no signs of escalating mechanical failure or recurring safety-critical defects over the last five years of testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,956 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 5,039 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often invites risks related to aged rubber seals, fluid degradation, and surface corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended durations. A buyer should focus inspection on the front end geometry due to the recurring tyre wear patterns noted in 2023 and 2024. The tester flagged the nearside front tyre as smooth on the outer edge at 34,774 miles, followed by both front tyres showing outer edge wear at 36,103 miles. This trend indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires a professional tracking adjustment to prevent further premature tyre degradation. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT record does not account for surface rust between tests. The brakes should also be checked for seized calipers or pitting, which are common in low-mileage cars that are not driven regularly. While the digital history is clean, the age of the components means that rubber hoses and bushings are the primary concern rather than mechanical wear.
