2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DA55 KSF

The 2006 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2025 at 62,868 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual examinations likewise closed without advisories or failures. The lone blemish is a failed test on 8 February 2022 at 52,867 miles, reversed by a pass on 23 February 2022 at 53,095 miles; the DVSA entry logs no defects against either, indicating the failure stemmed from an administrative or unrecorded non-mechanical cause rather than a fault requiring repair. Annual mileage sits at roughly 3,143 across the vehicle's twenty-year life, with the record showing 52,867 miles in February 2022, 53,095 miles later that month, 57,464 miles by February 2023, 59,536 miles in April 2024, and 62,868 miles by March 2025. The step from 2022 to 2025 adds only 9,801 miles over three years. Such low accumulation points to light use or extended standing periods, though the clean test slate gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred servicing within the recorded span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely spells out of regular use. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when MOT tests show clear. The absence of advisories across five years means no recurring mechanical trend exists to track, but the 2022 failure with no listed defect warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code at point of sale. Given the unbroken pass sequence since February 2022 and the modest annual coverage, the history implies a cautious owner who kept the Micra lightly run and tested on time. Verify underside condition and brake caliper freedom in person, as low-mileage older cars can hide binding calipers or exhaust corrosion that a clean MOT will not always capture.
