2018 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · CP67 GWN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with the front suspension components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 32,830 miles passed despite an advisory for a worn and debonded offside front lower suspension arm bush. While the car cleared a failure in March 2024 regarding similar bushing issues on both sides, the return of this specific advisory suggests that the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, moving from 24,772 miles in March 2023 to 32,830 miles in March 2026. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber materials rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of perishing and cracking rear tyres in both 2023 and 2024. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension closely to determine if the debonding in the lower arms has progressed beyond the current advisory. The history indicates a failure in 2024 due to excessive wear on the nearside bush, which was subsequently rectified, but the offside side now shows similar signs of fatigue. Additionally, the age of the tyres must be verified for sidewall cracking, as the previous records confirm the vehicle is prone to tyre perishing due to age rather than tread depth depletion.
