2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DN65 MHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. While it passed its latest test in November 2025 at 33,187 miles, this followed a failure just one week prior at 33,148 miles. That failure highlighted an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint alongside corroded front coil springs and pitted brake discs. The data suggests the owner is only addressing mechanical faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 26,006 miles and November 2025 at 33,187 miles, the car covered only 7,181 miles. This low usage pattern explains the presence of surface corrosion on coil springs and binding brake calipers, as components often sit stationary for long periods, leading to oxidation and seizing rather than being cleared by the friction of regular use. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and braking system thoroughly, as the coil springs have been flagged for corrosion since at least 2024. The recurring issues with pitted brake discs and binding calipers between 2022 and 2025 indicate the braking assembly is nearing the end of its functional life due to age and neglect. Check the rubber boots on ball joints and suspension arms, as the low-mileage history often hides rubber degradation and cracking that occurs despite distance driven.
