2018 Nissan Micra 1.5L Diesel · CU18 WCW

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is assessed as unfavourable , with a clear improving trend evident in the most recent test on 2026-04-29, which passed at 114,030 miles with only minor wear on the front brake disc. The maintenance history indicates a worsening pattern relative to the vehicle's age of 8 years, as the test on 2025-05-12 failed at 98,463 miles, followed by two separate failures on 2025-05-06 and 2024-03-27. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests the car has experienced significant wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, likely due to reduced mileage per year over its eight-year lifespan. The test on 2026-04-29 passed with only minor wear on the front brake disc and thin pads, but the history reveals that the brake system has been failing repeatedly. The most recent failure on 2025-05-06 involved a nearside and offside coil spring fracture , a structural risk that has persisted since the 2025-05-12 test. This indicates that the suspension assembly is likely in poor condition, requiring immediate attention to prevent further damage to the vehicle's bodywork and structural integrity. Given the recurrent failures in the suspension and the recent failure of the front brake disc, the buyer should inspect the car for structural rust in the suspension components , binding calipers , and exhaust emissions to determine if the braking system is fully functional. The front brake disc is likely excessively worn and should be replaced before the next MOT, while the coil springs and suspension bushings must be rechecked for wear or fracture, as these components are prone to failure at this age and mileage.
