Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2009 Nissan Micra shows a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 11 August 2025 at 36,204 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test passed with no defects logged, though it was preceded on the same day by a failed attempt at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated on 8 August 2024 when a fail at 32,038 miles was followed a week later by a clean pass at 32,180 miles. Such duplicate entries with no faults cited suggest administrative re-test anomalies rather than mechanical deterioration. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. From the 2023 test at 24,923 miles, the car covered only 7,257 miles over the following two years, averaging roughly 3,600 miles annually against a lifetime mean near 2,130. The 2024 and 2025 tests sit eleven and twelve months apart respectively, giving a consistent yearly cadence with no abrupt accumulation. Sparse records and zero advisories across all five entries imply the Micra was lightly run and stored for long periods rather than neglected through high wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the age and likely extended standing periods that accelerate perishing of rubber and surface rust on structural members. The brake discs and calipers warrant checking for binding or pitting after low-mileage dormancy, even though the MOT logged no brake defects. Verify the V5C and service history to confirm the duplicated 2024 and 2025 fail-pass entries were clerical rather than concealed repairs. The absence of advisories on a car of this vintage is unusual and justifies scrutiny of underbody integrity and exhaust emissions before purchase.
