2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · BW63 VXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT test on 11 May 2026 at 55,901 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test noted a minor defect regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate. While the car passed without major mechanical failures, the prior failure in April 2025 due to insufficient tyre tread depth indicates that the previous owner was reactive to safety requirements rather than proactive with preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage recorded between the April 2025 test at 28,879 miles and the May 2026 test at 55,901 miles, representing over 27,000 miles driven in a single year. This shift from low-intensity to high-intensity driving can accelerate the wear on rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake hardware, despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the previous failure for low tread suggests they may be older replacements or are nearing their legal limit. Given the recent surge in mileage, a close look at the brake discs and pads for uneven thinning or glazing is advisable. The inspector should also check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to surface rust regardless of the distance driven.
