2008 Nissan Micra 1.4L Petrol · BJ58 FWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 101,489 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple critical safety defects. The record shows a significant failure involving a missing road wheel fixing, a fractured coil spring, and lighting failures, which were resolved once the items were rectified. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when strictly necessary to pass the MOT test. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 101,489 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,600 miles. However, the data shows a notable gap in usage between March 2023 (90,504 miles) and October 2024 (90,518 miles), where only 14 miles covered over seventeen months. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, which is evidenced by the severely deteriorated CV boot noted in 2023 and the recurring suspension issues in later tests. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record consistently flags issues with the anti-roll bar linkage and lower suspension arm bushes. The fracture of the nearside coil spring in 2025 indicates that these components are reaching the end of their fatigue life. Additionally, the recurring reports of tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple years suggests poor alignment or a general neglect of basic consumables until they timed out.
