2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DS13 SWO

The vehicle maintains a technically roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 12 November 2025 at 92,168 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a recurring pattern of failure immediately prior to a retest. The failures in November 2024 and November 2025 occurred without recorded defects on the pass, suggesting minor adjustment-related issues are being rectified just before the test rather than indicating deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 84,436 miles and the November 2024 test at 88,127 miles, the car covered 3,691 miles, followed by another 3,741 miles in the year leading up to November 2025. This steady, low mileage suggests regular use which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals often seen in cars that sit for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the MOT history lacks specific advisories for these areas despite the age of the Nissan Micra. Check for early signs of corrosion on the subframe and the condition of the coil springs and control arm bushes. While the recent tests are clean, the repeated retests indicate that the vehicle may be operating on the margin of compliance for items such as emissions or light alignment, necessitating a close look at the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers.
