2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DA16 FNU

The 2016 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 42,132 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 2 May 2024 at 36,406 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure logged on 2 May 2024 at 36,406 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Across the five-year record the car has avoided any advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. The odometer traces a low-use pattern for a ten-year-old car. From 28,970 miles at the 9 May 2022 test the figure rose to 33,127 miles by 29 April 2023, then 36,406 miles by May 2024, and 42,132 miles by May 2025. That averages roughly 4,200 miles per year. The sparse, clean record gives no sign of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals; the gentle climb suggests light local running, possibly with long standing periods between trips. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the shell. Low mileage and clean MOTs do not rule out perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, or surface corrosion on sills and subframes from damp storage. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet standing vehicles often hide weeping brake cylinders and degraded flexible hoses that a road test alone will not expose. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous keepers appear to have kept the Micra to a basic but sufficient standard. Verify service history and check for intermittent use issues such as stale coolant and hardened wiper blades before purchase.
