2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BD63 AEK

The 2013 Nissan Micra presents a clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 28 November 2025 at 71,339 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle remains legally compliant and mechanically sound per the examiner's assessment. Across five consecutive annual examinations from September 2021 to November 2025, the maintenance trend stays stable, with zero advisories or failures logged. This consistent pass record indicates the previous keeper addressed any required items before each test. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a thirteen-year-old hatchback. The odometer advanced from 67,272 miles at the 9 September 2021 test to 71,339 miles by 28 November 2025, a total of 4,067 miles over four years and two months, equating to roughly 988 miles per annum. Such low annual use suggests extended periods of inactivity or short local journeys. The record shows no gaps exceeding fourteen months between tests, with the longest interval being the 2021 to 2022 cycle of just under fourteen months. Clean history with no flagged consumable wear implies the owner prioritised timely statutory testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components prone to degradation under low-mileage storage. The Micra's suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may exhibit age-related stiffness or corrosion despite the absent MOT advisories. Standing vehicles often develop binding rear calipers and flat-spotted tyres; the tester noted none, but visual checks for sidewall cracking and disc rust remain prudent. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a ramp examination for hidden rust, as surface corrosion can escape a visual roadside test. Given the fault-free record, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the minimal mileage means mechanical fatigue from use is low while environmental deterioration risks rise. Prospective purchasers should verify service history and confirm fluid changes, as MOT passes alone do not evidence routine lubrication. The vehicle's current test certificate remains valid and recent relative to today's date of 14 July 2026.
