2011 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BT11 ABO

The vehicle presents a clean and stable MOT record, with the most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 109,171 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. Both the 2025 and 2024 test dates show a same-day fail followed by a pass, which indicates minor initial issues rectified immediately rather than any underlying mechanical deterioration. The absence of any recorded advisories across all three annual inspections points to consistent upkeep and no recurring fault pattern developing. The mileage pattern tells a slightly different story. With 109,171 miles recorded at just over 15 years old, the lifetime average sits near 7,300 miles per year. However, the annual rate has slowed markedly: from 102,017 miles in December 2023 to 106,133 in December 2024, a rise of roughly 4,100 miles, then to 109,171 by December 2025, only about 3,000 miles in the latest year. The 4-mile gap between the fail and pass readings in December 2024 suggests the vehicle was driven to a nearby garage for rectification and retested, while the identical mileages on the 2025 pass and fail indicate an immediate retest at the same station. Nothing in the mileage data implies abuse or severe neglect, but the recent reduction in use means the car may have stood for longer periods between journeys. Given the clean recorded history, the main risks sit in areas that commonly age on a 2011 Micra without yet generating MOT failures. A buyer should personally examine the sills, floor pans, and rear suspension mounting points for corrosion, as structural rust can progress silently between tests. Check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for cracking, and listen for any knocking from the front anti-roll bar links. The brake discs and rear shoes are typical consumables at this mileage, so inspect them for lip wear, scoring, or binding calipers. Although the recorded history shows no immediate concerns, a thorough physical inspection remains essential because a clean MOT certificate does not guarantee the absence of age-related wear.
