2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DN65 MKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a gradual degradation of the front suspension components. In the most recent test on January 2026 at 36,870 miles, the car passed despite an advisory for an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint exhibiting slight play. This represents a progression from minor wear noted in previous years, suggesting that the front-end assembly is beginning to require component replacement to prevent a future failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,352 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns, moving from 24,896 miles in February 2022 to 36,870 miles by early 2026. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the drying of rubber-based components, which may correlate with the-related issues observed in the record. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as control arm bushes and ball joints have been a recurring theme since 2023. Between 2023 and 2024, multiple advisories noted wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes, which has now evolved into ball joint play as of the latest mileage reading. Additionally, the tyre condition should be verified for alignment, as the 2025 test flagged the offside front tyre as being worn on the edge near the legal limit, indicating potential geometry issues or uneven wear patterns.
