Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, provided the recent cosmetic and electrical issues are addressed. The mileage is significantly lower than average for a 2015 vehicle, which is a major plus.
When inspecting this specific Micra, prioritize checking the nearside front bumper to ensure the damage noted in the 2025 MOT has been professionally repaired and isn't just a superficial fix. You should also verify that the nearside dipped beam headlamp is functioning correctly and that there are no signs of moisture ingress within the light unit.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repair of the bumper damage. While the 2024 MOT recorded no defects, the jump from a clean 2024 test to a failure in 2025 suggests a recent incident. Beyond this, check the tyres and brakes, as these are common areas for advisories in this model type.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical option for urban commuting. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a modest insurance group, which is typical for this class of small hatchback.
Maintenance costs for a Micra of this age are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, sits in a moderate bracket for a petrol hatchback.
Focus your inspection on the nearside front area of the car. The 2025 MOT failure explicitly mentioned nearside front bumper damage and a non-functional dipped beam headlamp; ensure these have been fully rectified and not merely 'passed' after a quick fix.
Additionally, given the model aggregate data suggests sub-frame pins and emissions can be common failure points for the Micra range, it is worth checking for any signs of underside corrosion or unusual engine idling. While this specific vehicle hasn't failed for these reasons, they remain relevant points for this model.
This 2015 grey Nissan Micra has covered 55,106 miles, which is notably lower than the model average of 4,782 miles per year. The MOT history shows a generally consistent pass rate, though the most recent test in August 2025 required attention for bumper damage and a headlamp issue. Aside from these specific points, the vehicle has maintained a clean record over the last few years.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including sub-frame components, tyres, and emissions.
