2003 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · CX53 VMY

The Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 August 2025 at 99,582 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from August 2023 through August 2025 returning a clean result or a pass shortly after a failed attempt with no defects listed. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the data. Recorded mileage sits at 99,582 against a 23-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 4,330 miles per year. The odometer moved from 92,014 miles on 4 August 2023 to 95,200 on 4 August 2024, then to 99,579 by 4 August 2025. This reflects gentle annual use with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. The low yearly figure suggests prolonged standing periods are plausible, though the record itself stays sparse and clean throughout. The August 2025 pass and prior clean tests show no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the car's age and likely intermittent use. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components and seized calipers not always caught in a pass with no defects recorded. The repeated fail-and-pass sequence on 4 August and 7 August 2025 at near-identical mileage, with no defects logged, points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current, but the absence of any advisory history means wear on consumables like tyres and wiper blades remains unverified without a hands-on check.
