2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · DY13 UPF

The 2013 Nissan Micra presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 October 2025 at 164,534 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains consistently clean across the available history, with the vehicle passing every test without any advisories or failures carried over. The immediate passes recorded the day after the 2025 and 2024 failures indicate prompt rectification of whatever minor issues caused the initial refusals, reflecting a pattern of reactive but effective upkeep rather than prolonged neglect. The recorded mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 12,656 miles annually, which sits slightly above the national average. Between the September 2023 test at 145,463 miles and the September 2024 test at 155,350 miles, the Micra covered approximately 9,887 miles. This increased to around 9,183 miles over the following twelve months leading to the October 2025 test at 164,534 miles. The data shows a steady, consistent usage pattern without sudden spikes or unexplained gaps, suggesting regular daily driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the high annual mileage accelerates the deterioration of core mechanical and structural components. A buyer must inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage Micras frequently suffer from premature wear in these areas, leading to a harsh ride and compromised handling. Brake discs and pads require close scrutiny for lipping and wear, while the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for corrosion and emissions efficiency. Finally, inspect the underbody and sills thoroughly for structural rust, a common affliction for small city cars of this era that accumulate high mileage on salted roads.
