2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BJ64 VGD

The 2014 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA examination. On 24 September 2025 at 61,783 miles the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and improved after an earlier anomaly. In the 12 November 2022 test the car failed at 52,802 miles despite no defects being logged, but every check since returned a clean pass. Ownership clearly resolved whatever caused that rejection and sustained fault-free records through 2023, 2024 and 2025. Mileage remains low for a twelve-year-old hatchback. The odometer rose from 45,815 miles on 23 July 2021 to 61,783 miles by September 2025, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. A notable gap sits between the 14 January 2023 pass at 53,343 miles and the 6 August 2024 pass at 58,660 miles, with no test recorded in between. The car covered just 5,317 miles across those nineteen months. Such light use suggests reduced drivetrain wear but raises the risk of prolonged standing, which can foster corrosion and perished rubbers not always caught on a ramp. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or leaks. The MOT history flags no advisories on structural integrity, exhaust emissions or brake discs, yet low-mileage Micras often hide moisture damage to sills and subframes. Verify the 2022 failure cause through historic paperwork to confirm it was non-mechanical. Examine tyre sidewalls for age cracking and disc surfaces for pitting after idle spells. The clean recent record implies previous owners kept consumables like wiper blades and tyres refreshed outside test dates. Prospective purchasers should prioritise an independent underside check and a live emissions read before purchase. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern and currently reflects responsible stewardship.
