2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · DG52 XMJ

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT, with the last recorded test occurring on 31 October 2022 where it passed with no defects. Prior to this, the record shows a same-day failure and pass on 1 November 2021, also with no defects logged. While the testing trend up to late 2022 appeared stable and clean, the subsequent four-year absence of MOT data means the vehicle's current roadworthiness is entirely unverified. At 58,646 recorded miles, this 24-year-old vehicle has averaged roughly 2,444 miles per year. This represents exceptionally low usage, but the lack of any testing activity between October 2022 and August 2026 points to a prolonged period of static storage. Vehicles left standing for years frequently suffer from component seizure and fluid degradation rather than standard mileage-related wear. Buyers must conduct a rigorous physical inspection to address the risks of long-term storage. The underbody requires close scrutiny for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills, suspension mounting points, and front crossmember. The braking system must be checked for binding calipers, heavily pitted brake discs, and perished hydraulic hoses. Finally, inspect all auxiliary belts, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls for dry rot, as rubber components deteriorate rapidly when left static.
