2008 Nissan Micra 1.6L Petrol · DY08 AEL

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on its available history, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent record is a pass from 4 November 2021 at 83,232 miles, which was achieved without any defects or advisories. This indicates the car was in a healthy mechanical state at that time, but the absence of any MOT entries between November 2021 and July 2026 means the current roadworthiness is unknown. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 4,624 miles per year. Between November 2017 at 70,029 miles and November 2021 at 83,232 miles, the car covered 13,203 miles over four years. This consistent, low-volume usage suggests the vehicle was used for short trips or light commuting. However, the total lack of recorded mileage for nearly five years suggests the car has been stationary for a prolonged period. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components that degrade during long-term storage. Focus on the condition of the tyres for flat spots or perishing and check for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs. The battery and fuel system may also have suffered from dormancy. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion, as the lack of recent road use can mask rust progression. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or degradation. While the clean record up to 2021 suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the current gap in testing necessitates a full mechanical health check to ensure the car is safe for the road.
