2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DP65 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-29 at 11,746 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Subsequent tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed consistent passes, with no recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across this five-year span suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting UK legal requirements. However, the lack of recent testing beyond October 2025 raises questions about compliance, as MOTs are required annually. The recorded mileage of 11,746 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 1,068 miles per year, significantly below the UK average for vehicles of this age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component degradation such as seized brake calipers, battery drain, or fluid stagnation. The MOT history shows minimal mileage progression, with each test occurring roughly 12 months apart, but no evidence of rapid wear or mechanical stress. The clean record does not confirm active use, only that the car met baseline safety standards at the time of testing. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear from static storage. The braking system should be checked for corrosion or binding, given the potential for inactivity. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, as prolonged standing may accelerate corrosion. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the combination of age, low mileage, and a gap in testing beyond 2025 warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s operational integrity.
