2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BK65 AEJ

The 2015 Nissan Micra is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 recorded a pass at 23 027 miles with no defects noted. The maintenance trend is stable to improving, as the vehicle has passed every test since 2022 and the annual mileage increase has narrowed over time. Even the isolated failure on 23 May 2022 at 20 080 miles showed no recorded defects, suggesting a possible retest anomaly rather than a persistent fault. Mileage accumulation relative to the vehicle’s age is unusually low. Over roughly eleven years the car has covered only 23 027 miles, averaging about 2 100 miles per year. The yearly increments have actually decreased: 1 221 miles between 2022 and 2023, 1 016 miles between 2023 and 2024, and just 710 miles between 2024 and 2025. This pattern indicates lighter use or periods of inactivity, and the MOT record remains clean with no significant gaps in testing. A buyer should inspect the mechanical condition of several systems despite the low mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, test the calipers for binding, and verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs are not cracked or hardened. Examine the steering rack and tie‑rod ends for play, and assess tyre tread depth and wear patterns for irregular wear caused by misalignment. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion, the exhaust for rust perforations, and the underbody for rust spots around wheel arches and sill plates. A visual check of the engine mountings and any signs of oil leaks is also advisable. The MOT history reflects a consistent, well‑maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical issues. The low mileage suggests limited exposure to wear, yet it does not guarantee that neglected consumables or hidden corrosion have not developed. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection focusing on brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, battery, exhaust, and body integrity will provide a reliable assessment of the car’s true condition.
