2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · EF04 GGE

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025. The most recent 2025 test at 122,423 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged, suggesting the car has been well-cared for. The absence of advisories or failures over this period implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the low mileage relative to age warrants scrutiny of components prone to aging. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with annual increases of approximately 2,000–3,000 miles. The 2021 test at 111,293 miles to 2025’s 122,423 miles reflects an average of 5,565 miles per year, significantly below typical usage for a 22-year-old vehicle. This pattern may indicate periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, suspension bushes, and electrical systems. While the MOT history is clean, the sparse data does not confirm whether the car was driven consistently or stored for extended durations. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from lack of use. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these can develop during inactivity. Structural integrity is likely intact, but rust on underbody panels or chassis seams merits scrutiny. The absence of exhaust emissions or corrosion advisories is positive, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of aged components not covered by MOT tests.
