Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, request the full service history to verify that the 1.0L engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals. Confirm that the front tyres replaced after the 2025 failure are of a reputable brand and have sufficient tread remaining.
Negotiate based on the current state of the shock absorbers, as a light oil misting was noted on the offside front in 2024. While this was an advisory, it is a point for verification during a test drive to ensure there is no degradation in ride quality.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, ensuring low fuel consumption and a competitive insurance group. As a Euro 6AP vehicle, it is compatible with the strictest low-emission zones in the UK, avoiding daily charges in cities like London.
Typical maintenance for this model is generally affordable, though buyers should budget for periodic tyre replacements given that tyres are a top failure reason for this model. Total annual costs including tax, insurance, and fuel are expected to be modest.
Carefully inspect the offside front shock absorber for any signs of leaking oil, following the advisory recorded in August 2024. Check the rear registration plate to ensure it has been replaced or cleaned, as it was previously noted as deteriorated.
Check the depth and condition of all four tyres. Given the 2025 MOT failure for tread depth below 1.6mm on both front tyres, it is important to ensure a consistent replacement schedule has been adopted. Finally, check for any signs of wear on the suspension arms, which is a known common failure point for the Micra model range.
This black 2021 Nissan Micra with a 999cc engine has recorded 27,574 miles. The MOT history shows a clean pass in August 2026 and a previous failure in 2025 specifically related to front tyre tread depth, which was resolved on the same day. It represents a standard example of this model with mileage slightly above the aggregate average.
The Nissan Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77%, with tyres and suspension arms identified as frequent failure points across the model range.
