2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · DE02 EOO

The Nissan Micra passed its most recent MOT on 23 January 2024 at 67,552 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle clearing its annual tests once minor issues are addressed. Records show two prior failures in January 2023 and January 2024, both at 63,670 and 67,471 miles respectively, yet neither listed specific defects, suggesting administrative or unrecorded rectifications rather than severe mechanical faults. At roughly 24 years old, the Micra shows 67,552 miles total, an average of about 2,815 miles per year. The odometer moved from 59,680 miles on 26 January 2022 to 63,735 miles on 31 January 2023, then to 67,552 miles by January 2024. This reflects low annual use with no rapid accumulation. The sparse, clean history with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions points to light running, though long standing periods common at this mileage can hide perished seals or structural rust. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on structural members and subframes, as the MOT omitted advisories that a 2002 car often carries. Check suspension components for degraded bushes and coil springs, and verify brake calipers are free from binding after the car's low-use intervals. The twin January failures with no recorded defects warrant confirmation that previous owners resolved whatever halted the tests, rather than relying solely on the pass certificate.
