2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BN09 YUU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a remarkably consistent maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 59,791 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor defect regarding the nearside rear position lamp. This follows a four-year streak of clean passes from 2022 to 2025, indicating that the vehicle maintained its integrity without significant mechanical or structural failures during this period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 9,127 miles, showing a steady and modest usage rate of roughly 2,300 miles annually recently. This low-frequency use suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion that differs from the wear typically seen on high-mileage cars. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focused on age-related degradation rather than mileage mileage. Check the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as low-mileage cars often sit in environments that promote oxidation. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface pitting or seized calipers, which are common issues for vehicles with infrequent use. Additionally, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of how few miles driven.
