2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BN59 YVP

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status, having secured a clean pass in its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 70,433 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving following a period of reactive repairs in 2024. While the 2024 failure highlighted mechanical neglect, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the primary faults to bring the car back to test standards. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,433 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,143 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the long intervals between tests often lead to degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion. The data shows consistent annual usage between 2022 and 2025, with increments of roughly 2,700 miles between tests, which confirms a vehicle used for short trips rather than long-distance commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and suspension geometry due to recurring issues. The 2023 test flagged pitted and corroded front discs, which progressed into a 2024 failure for being significantly worn. The subsequent fracture of the offside front coil spring in that same year suggests the suspension components may be suffering from age-related brittleness rather than mileage-related fatigue. Inspect the vehicle for cracks in rubber bushings and signs of seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary are prone to brake binding and perished seals.
