2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BV10 RLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 16 February 2026 at 73,770 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,611 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between 2 April 2024 and 26 February 2025, where the odometer rose from 63,847 to 72,697 miles. This period accounts for nearly 9,000 miles, which is double the annual average. Since then, the vehicle has covered only 1,073 miles over the following year, indicating a recent shift toward very light use or periods of standing. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the absence of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle. A buyer should physically inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly on the sills and suspension mounting points, as surface rust often goes unmentioned until it becomes a structural failure. The low overall mileage and recent periods of inactivity increase the risk of perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which may not have been flagged during the brief MOT inspections. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting caused by standing. Verify that the engine oil and coolant are clean, as low-mileage cars often suffer from shortened service intervals or moisture buildup in the fluids. A manual check of the tyre dates is recommended to ensure the rubber has not hardened despite having legal tread depth.
