2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CV14 CBO

The 2014 Nissan Micra presents an exemplary roadworthiness record, demonstrating a completely stable maintenance trend with zero defects across its entire testing history. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 34,009 miles passed without recording a single advisory or failure. This unblemished chronology indicates a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards, suggesting diligent preventative care and a lack of chronic faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,834 miles annually. Between the 2022 test at 25,908 miles and the 2026 test at 34,009 miles, the car covered just over 8,100 miles across four years. The annual increments show consistent, short-distance usage: 1,673 miles between 2022 and 2023, 2,591 miles between 2023 and 2024, 2,291 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 1,546 miles between 2025 and 2026. Such minimal usage implies prolonged periods of standing, which introduces specific age-related risks despite the low wear on drivetrain components. Although the MOT record contains no recurring faults, the low-mileage profile demands a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to age rather than mileage degradation. A buyer should thoroughly examine the condition of the tyres, checking the date codes and sidewalls for perishing or cracking, as rubber compounds deteriorate regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires close scrutiny; infrequent use often leads to corrosion on the brake discs and binding calipers, which an MOT might not flag unless severe. Suspension bushes and rubber mounts are prone to perishing from inactivity, so pressing and flexing these components will reveal any hidden deterioration. Finally, inspect the exhaust system and underbody for surface corrosion, as short trips prevent the exhaust from reaching optimal operating temperature to burn off moisture, accelerating rust formation.
