2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DE58 MLU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 6 November 2025 at 92,631 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, continuing a streak of clean results. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical or safety failures from reaching the threshold. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2008 Micra, averaging approximately 5,146 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 19,800 miles, showing a steady annual increase of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles. This low-frequency usage typically implies less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such low-distance travel can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than just mileage. A buyer should specifically check the structural integrity of the sills, wheel arches, and subframes for surface rust, which is common in older Japanese vehicles. It is prudent to inspect the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for cracking or perished rubber, as these parts age over time regardless of the low miles recorded.
