2021 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · CU71 OPM

The 2021 Nissan Micra presents a stable and sound mechanical profile, culminating in a clean pass on 28 August 2025 at 17,298 miles. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no defects recorded at the most recent inspection. This indicates the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. At roughly five years old, the recorded mileage of 17,298 miles equates to an average annual usage of approximately 3,460 miles, which is notably low. The mileage progression shows an accumulation of 3,263 miles between the August 2024 test at 14,035 miles and the August 2025 test at 17,298 miles, confirming this low-mileage pattern. Such minimal annual accumulation suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, a factor that can sometimes lead to deterioration of rubber components and brake surfaces despite the low distance covered. The 2024 record contains an anomaly where the vehicle both failed and passed on 16 August 2024 at the exact same mileage of 14,035 miles, with no defects listed for either outcome. This typically indicates an aborted initial test followed by a same-day retest, though the lack of recorded defects makes the specific cause unclear. Given the low mileage and prolonged stationary periods, a buyer should physically inspect the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall perishing, as well as checking the brake discs for surface corrosion. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts also warrant close scrutiny, as these components can degrade from age and inactivity rather than from mileage alone.
