2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BN64 UML

This Nissan Micra has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 25 February 2026 confirming no defects at 17,820 miles. The vehicle has passed every examination since November 2022 without fail, and the absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests it has been maintained at a basic level to meet legal standards. However, the lack of any faults does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas not routinely inspected by MOT testers, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or subframe integrity. The clean pass in February 2026 indicates the vehicle remains compliant for the time being, but the low mileage raises questions about its long-term condition. The recorded mileage of 17,820 miles over nearly 12 years—approximately 1,485 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The data shows no significant mileage progression between tests, with the figure remaining effectively static at around 17,739–17,745 miles from November 2022 to February 2026. This stagnation could imply prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, which may accelerate deterioration in components like rubber seals, battery health, or fuel system integrity. The absence of mileage accumulation also makes it difficult to assess whether wear-and-tear items—such as brake pads, tyres, or suspension components—have been replaced on a logical schedule. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to cracking or degradation over time without significant mileage. The brakes, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as low mileage can mask gradual deterioration. Structural corrosion—especially around the wheel arches, subframe, and sills—must be thoroughly examined, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s integrity without causing immediate MOT failures. Additionally, the battery and fuel system should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or clogging. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
