2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BJ10 FSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 22,717 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a stable trajectory following a period of concern in early 2023. While the car suffered a failure due to a fractured spring, subsequent tests indicate that the necessary mechanical repairs were addressed and the vehicle has since maintained a clean inspection record. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,420 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered only 3,569 miles, suggesting very infrequent use. This low usage typically preserves the drivetrain and engine components, though such low mileage patterns often lead to issues with the degradation of rubber-based components and the accumulation of corrosion on the underbody, which is consistent with the environmental issues noted in the history. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and sealing integrity, as these areas have shown flags across multiple tests. The 2023 test at 19,148 miles identified minor corrosion across all suspension components, while the 2025 test noted external damage to the front shock absorber casings. A buyer must verify that these shocks are not leaking fluid and that the corrosion has not progressed into structural thinning. Additionally, the minor oil leak reported in early 2023 warrants a close look at the engine block and gaskets to ensure the leak remains negligible and has not worsened during the long periods of inactivity.
