2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CX06 WDA

The 2006 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 57,456 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual certificates since 2022. The mileage pattern shows very low use for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The record opened at 40,709 miles on 18 October 2022 and crept to 40,818 miles by 11 October 2023, then 40,819 the next day, 43,799 by 15 October 2024, and 57,456 by 15 October 2025. That final jump of 13,657 miles in one year follows three years of near-static readings under 1,100 miles each. Such a profile suggests the car sat largely unused before a single owner or keeper put it back on the road at pace. The DVSA data carries no advisories or faults across any pass, and the only blemish is a fail on 11 October 2023 at 40,818 miles with no defects listed, corrected by a pass twenty-four hours later at 40,819 miles, pointing to a paperwork or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still treat the sudden mileage rise as the key risk. Long standing followed by regular use commonly exposes perished suspension bushes, cracked coil springs, and corroded brake discs or binding calipers that a stationary car hides. The tester logged none of these, but the 2025 examination is the first real test of a vehicle driven hard after years idle. Inspect underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, check the exhaust emissions against expected norms for a 1.2 petrol, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not aged-cracked during the low-mileage period. The history implies careful if sporadic upkeep, yet the recent accumulation demands a physical check of wear items the MOT did not flag.
