2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CK08 DFC

The 2026‑03‑31 MOT passed, confirming the Nissan Micra is presently roadworthy, yet the maintenance record shows a mixed trend with recurring coil‑spring corrosion and tyre wear that have persisted across several tests. After a failed test on 2026‑03‑12 highlighted SRS faults and severe tyre wear, the March 2026 test resolved those issues and recorded no major defects beyond minor spring corrosion and a cracked rear tyre. The vehicle’s 113,722 miles at 18 years translate to an average of 6,318 miles per year, a figure that aligns with typical usage for its age; however the mileage record shows a notable dip to 79,350 miles in 2021 before climbing steadily to the current level, indicating periods of low activity or possible odometer inconsistency. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive wear, inspect the coil springs for continued corrosion, assess the condition of the rear tyres and brake components, test the parking brake lever for proper travel, verify the SRS warning lamp operation, and look for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox, as the record shows repeated suspension wear and recurring rust on the springs.
