Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution due to
When viewing this Micra, prioritise an inspection of the underbody. The 2025 MOT failure specifically noted that the offside front upper suspension component mounting area was excessively corroded, which is a serious structural concern. You should ask for evidence of any welding or structural repairs carried out following that failure.
Additionally, check the recent maintenance of the tyres. The 2026 MOT record shows failures related to tyre wear and cuts. Ensure that all four tyres are of a reputable brand and have sufficient tread depth, as this vehicle has a history of tyre-related MOT failures. Finally, verify the operation of the windscreen washers and headlamp alignment, as these have been flagged in previous tests.
The 1240cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Micra is typically modest, suitable for urban driving but less efficient on long motorway stints.
Maintenance costs may be influenced by the age of the vehicle; while parts for a 2007 Micra are widely available and generally inexpensive, the recent MOT history indicates frequent replacements of consumables like tyres and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are expected to be moderate.
A critical inspection point is the front suspension area. Given the 2025 failure for 'excessively corroded' mounting areas, you must look for signs of surface rust versus deep structural rot. Check the anti-roll bar linkages, as the 2025 record highlighted a failed dust cover on the nearside front linkage.
Inspect the lighting system thoroughly. The 2026 failure involved both a defective headlamp lens and incorrect beam aim, suggesting that the headlight units may be aging or poorly adjusted. Also, check for any signs of the oil leak mentioned in the 2025 MOT history to ensure it has been adequately addressed.
This 2007 silver Nissan Micra (1.2L petrol) has covered 109,452 miles as of June 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,796 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of tyre-related issues and a notable failure in 2025 regarding excessive corrosion on an offside front suspension mounting. While it passed its most recent test, the history suggests a need for vigilant maintenance.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
