2008 Nissan Micra 1.4L Petrol · BF08 UGO

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-20 recorded front tyres worn close to the legal limit, with both front tyres showing edge wear. This indicates ongoing tyre wear, likely due to alignment issues or suspension component degradation. The 2025 MOT noted front brake discs pitted or scored, front brake pads wearing thin, and a ball joint with slight play in the anti-roll bar. These suggest progressive wear on braking and suspension systems. A failed test in 2024 highlighted a worn sub-frame pin/bush and an excessively worn suspension arm ball joint. While subsequent MOTs have passed, the recurrence of suspension-related issues—such as worn bushes, ball joints, and sub-frame components—points to a pattern of gradual deterioration. The 2023 MOT also flagged a slightly worn rear bush and a suspension arm pin/bush, reinforcing this trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 124,877 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 6,938 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though the age alone means components like brakes, suspension, and tyres are nearing the end of their service life. No major defects were recorded in the most recent test, but the history shows a consistent need for attention to suspension and braking systems.
