2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BD58 GLF

The 2008 Nissan Micra demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as the latest DVSA test on 8 August 2025 at 90,207 miles recorded no defects. All previous tests from October 2022 through August 2025 also showed no defects, indicating a consistent maintenance record. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation is modest for its 18‑year age, averaging about 5,000 miles annually; the jump from 75,143 miles in October 2022 to 82,718 miles in October 2023 represents a 7,575‑mile increase, while subsequent years show smaller increments, indicating consistent, light usage rather than rapid wear. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically show wear in a low‑mileage, older car: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, binding rear brake calipers and worn brake discs, and any signs of structural rust or compromised exhaust integrity, especially given the absence of recorded defects but the vehicle’s age. The lack of documented failures suggests previous owners maintained the car adequately, yet a thorough in‑person inspection of the chassis, drivetrain mounts and tyre condition remains essential before purchase.
