2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CK10 HRD

The overall roadworthiness status of this 2010 Nissan Micra remains entirely unknown for the current period. The most recent MOT test occurred on 9 November 2021 at 105,893 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. However, a preceding test on 3 November 2021 at the identical mileage of 105,893 miles resulted in a failure, though no specific defects were listed for that failure. Given the nearly five-year gap since the last valid certificate was issued, the maintenance trend cannot be classified as stable, worsening, or improving. The vehicle has effectively sat outside of the regulated testing regime for a prolonged period. The recorded mileage of 105,893 miles equates to roughly 6,618 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Yet, the mileage data reveals a highly unusual stagnation. Between the failed test on 3 November 2021 and the passed test on 9 November 2021, the odometer reading did not change. More critically, the mileage has remained static at 105,893 miles for nearly five years up to the current date of July 2026. This suggests the vehicle has either been parked and unused, or it has been driven without a valid MOT and insurance for an extended duration. Because the MOT record offers no recent insight into the vehicle's mechanical condition, a prospective buyer must treat the car as untested. A thorough physical inspection is mandatory. Focus heavily on components that degrade through inactivity rather than use. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, as stationary vehicles suffer severe standing corrosion on friction surfaces. Check the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall perishing, and examine all suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for corrosion, as a car sitting for five years may have developed rust issues that a regular MOT would have previously caught.
