2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BL10 VKN

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in August 2025 at 110,716 miles. This indicates that the mechanical defects and safety issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. While the 2024 test revealed multiple points of failure regarding suspension and lighting, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggests the current owner is willing to rectify identified faults to keep the vehicle roadlegal. At 110,716 miles over 16 years, the Micra averages approximately 6,920 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The mileage data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 14,019 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the car does not sit idle for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the 2024 records flagged worn bushes on both front lower suspension arm pins. Although these were cleared in the latest test, rubber components on a vehicle of this age are prone to recurring cracking. The parking brake system also warrants a thorough check, as the 2024 failure for excessive movement in the lever indicates the cable adjustment or mechanism may be sensitive. Furthermore, the history of perishing tyres in 2024 highlights that the vehicle may suffer from age-related material degradation rather than tread depth issues. Inspect the sidewalls for dry cracking to ensure the current tyres are not aged. Given the vehicle's age, a close inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion is essential, as this remains a common concern for Micras that is not fully captured in the MOT history alone.
