2020 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · CK20 NHT

This Nissan Micra has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with no defects recorded in any of the four tests conducted between March 2023 and March 2026. The most recent inspection on 30 March 2026—at 44,763 miles—confirmed the vehicle met all current DVSA standards without fail, suggesting it has been maintained at a baseline level of care. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of advisories across all tests indicates no known pre-existing faults requiring immediate attention. However, the lack of defects does not preclude wear that falls outside MOT scope, such as gradual degradation of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper guides, which are not routinely inspected under the current MOT regime. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 7,460 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap occurs between the March 2024 (19,778 miles) and February 2025 (33,179 miles) tests, where the vehicle accumulated 13,401 miles in just over a year—a rate slightly above the average. This could imply either regular use or a period of higher mileage, though no corresponding MOT failures suggest the vehicle was not neglected during this time. The consistency of passing tests without fail, despite this spike, reinforces that the car has not been subjected to severe or prolonged misuse. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not covered by the test. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to cracking or deterioration over 44,000 miles. The brake system warrants scrutiny, including the rear brake calipers for binding or excessive wear, as well as the front and rear brake discs for uneven thickness or corrosion. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures on tread depth does not account for uneven wear or structural damage. Finally, examine the underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately affecting roadworthiness.
