2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DS64 OLR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs on aging mechanical components. The most recent test in May 2026 at 64,192 miles identified worn and splitting front wishbone bushes alongside pitted front brake discs. This follows a three-year period of clean records between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that rubber and metal components are now reaching the end of their functional life despite low mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,350 miles per year. The data shows steady usage over time, moving from 24,643 miles in late 2017 to 64,192 miles in 2026. While this low usage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation. This is evidenced by the 2019 advisory for perished tyres and the recurring failure of suspension components which degrade regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as this area is a recurring point of failure. The vehicle failed in 2022 due to excessively worn suspension arm pins and bushes, and similar issues reappeared in 2026. The buyer should verify that the current wishbone bushes have been replaced and are free of play. Additionally, the braking system requires attention; the record notes a 2022 failure for a binding rear service brake and a 2026 advisory for scored front discs, indicating the braking hardware may be prone to corrosion or neglect.
