2006 Nissan Micra 1.5L Diesel · CY06 HVE

The 2006 Nissan Micra presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2023 at 172,930 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its final test cleanly after a prior failed attempt days earlier under identical mileage. Recorded mileage sits at 172,930 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,646 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this age of supermini. The gap between the 19 January 2022 pass at 166,021 miles and the 21 March 2023 pass at 172,930 shows only 6,909 miles added in fourteen months, a modest accumulation. A notable quirk appears in early 2022 and 2023 where the car failed then passed within roughly two weeks at near-identical mileages, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at test rather than latent wear. The sparse record carries no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emission concerns across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 172,930 miles, as the MOT history records no advisories but does not certify absence of developing rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not captured in a clean test sheet. The repeated fail-pass cycles in January 2022 and March 2023 at 165,986 then 172,930 miles imply the previous owners addressed only what testers demanded, so verify all consumables like tyres and wiper blades meet road standard before purchase.
