2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DV57 HXG

The Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 103,080 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 25 September 2024 at 84,889 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have accumulated across the last two cycles. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2007 vehicle at 103,080 miles, averaging roughly 5,425 miles per year. The records show two distinct 12-month gaps: 66,326 miles on 26 September 2023 rising to 84,884 miles by 24 September 2024, then to 103,080 miles by September 2025, equating to around 18,000 and 19,000 miles added in each interval. This late-life acceleration after nearly two decades of light use suggests the car stood idle before recent higher-frequency commuting. The DVSA history is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass or fail entry. The two failures recorded on 26 September 2023 at 66,326 miles and 24 September 2024 at 84,884 miles list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Previous owners cleared these within a day on both occasions with a subsequent pass, implying the car was presented without valid documentation or similar non-mechanical blockers rather than neglected mechanically. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and the jump in annual mileage after long standing. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants checking, as low-mileage cars left unused often develop hidden rust. Verify service history to confirm fluids and consumables were renewed during the dormant years before the recent 18,000-mile annual use began.
