2019 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · CL19 BVB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 47,250 miles identified wear on the inner bushes of both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate that the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life, marking a departure from the clean records seen previously. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage urban commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,750 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 10,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 13,165-mile interval in the final year. This progression suggests steady use, though the failure in 2023 at 24,476 miles due to thin front brake pads indicates that the previous owner only addressed components once they failed an inspection rather than replacing them during service intervals. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension for any play or clunking, as the worn control arm bushes will likely require imminent replacement soon. The recurring issue of tyre wear, specifically the offside rear tyre in 2025 and the nearside rear in 2024, suggests a persistent alignment issue or uneven camber wear that has not been fully rectified. Verify the remaining life on the brake pads and discs to ensure they are not again approaching the critical limits noted in the 2023 failure.
