2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DF10 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record for the last three annual inspections. Following a failure in May 2022, the Micra passed every subsequent test without a single defect or advisory note. The most recent test conducted on 12 May 2025 at 123,441 miles indicates that the mechanical and safety-critical components are currently operating within acceptable parameters with no immediate areas of concern. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the car covered 1,491 miles, representing a significant drop from the previous interval of 2,837 miles. This steady pattern suggests the vehicle is subjected to regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent premature seal failure and brake corrosion in older Japanese cars. Despite the clean MOT history in recent years, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity, particularly the sills and wheel arches. At this age and mileage level, corrosion remains the primary risk that may not always manifest as an MOT advisory until it becomes significant. The buyer should also check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as the lack of recorded advisories does not guarantee these rubber and metal components are not nearing the end of their functional life.
