2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BV10 RVT

This Nissan Micra is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 July 2025 at 42,718 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. While the vehicle failed a test three days prior on 25 July 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The vehicle has covered very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 2,670 miles per year. Between 12 June 2023 and 28 July 2025, the odometer moved from 38,757 to 42,718 miles. This indicates the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. The clean record across the last three years suggests a level of consistent care, though low usage often masks dormant mechanical issues. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can perish over sixteen years. Check for signs of perishing or cracking in these areas. The absence of recorded corrosion or brake binding in the MOT history is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust is necessary given the vehicle's age. Verify the condition of the brake discs and fluid. Low-mileage cars often suffer from surface corrosion on the discs or moisture contamination in the brake fluid due to infrequent heat cycles. Ensure the engine oil and coolant show no signs of degradation, as long periods of standing can lead to sludge buildup or internal corrosion.
