2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CV06 ABN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 03 May 2025 at 115,559 miles. While the most recent test was clean, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability in early 2025. The car failed two consecutive tests in March and early May of that year with only 962 miles between the failures and success. This suggests a specific mechanical or emissions issue that required immediate rectification to meet minimum standards, though the vehicle has since returned to a compliant state. At 20 years old with 115,559 miles, the Micra has averaged approximately 5,778 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a gap in usage between March 2023 and March 2024, where it covered only 3,035 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 13,752 miles between March 2024 and May 2025. This low-mileage profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as perished bushes and seals, rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage older cars suffer from sitting stationary which can lead to hidden corrosion. Given the recent failures in 2025, check the brake system for signs of seizing or uneven wear and inspect the exhaust system for excessive rust. Additionally, examine the suspension for cracks in the springs and bushes, as the low mileage does not prevent the natural hardening of these materials over two decades.
