2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CV56 VMX

The 2006 Nissan Micra shows a contradictory roadworthiness picture from its most recent testing cycle. On 4 April 2022 at 103,171 miles the vehicle recorded both a pass and a fail on the same date with no defects listed against either outcome. This duplicated entry suggests an administrative anomaly at the test centre rather than a clear mechanical verdict, and the maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from a single ambiguous day of testing. The odometer stood at 103,171 miles on 4 April 2022, equating to roughly 5,159 miles per year across the car's twenty years. That is low for a 2006 supermini and points to light use or extended periods off the road. The record then goes silent for over four years, with no further tests logged before today's date of 8 July 2026, so the current physical condition is unverified by DVSA data since that 2022 anomaly. A buyer must treat the 103,171-mile Micra as untested for roadworthiness beyond April 2022. The absence of recorded advisories on the pass and the lack of listed defects on the fail give no steer on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion. Given the age and the four-year gap in testing, a full independent inspection of subframe rust, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions is essential before purchase. The same-day pass and fail with zero defects means previous keepers left no mechanical trail to assess their care habits. Low mileage may have limited drivetrain wear but standing time accelerates rubber perishing and brake seizing. Verify the V5C and seek proof of any 2023 to 2026 tests not captured here, as the DVSA entry alone is insufficient to clear this car.
