2006 Nissan Micra 1.6L Petrol · EN55 HBO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status due to a complete lack of testing data for the past five years. The last recorded test in August 2021 at 121,107 miles showed the car passing with multiple advisories regarding worn tyres, thinning brake components, and deteriorating suspension bushes. Because no MOT has been performed since 2021, the current mechanical state is unknown and the maintenance trend suggests a pattern of reactive repairs where components are only addressed when they approach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use, older vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. However, there is a significant gap in records between 2018 and 2021, where the car covered only 12,28 miles over three years. This low usage often leads to secondary degradation of rubber components and perishing of tyre sidewalls rather than mileage-related wear. The absence of any entries for the last five years suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary or is not being maintained to legal testing standards. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a history of issues with deteriorated front suspension arm rubber bushes and rough wheel bearings, which have recurred over the decade. The brake discs have been repeatedly flagged for pitting, scoring, and thinning since 2015, indicating a trend of neglected preventative maintenance. Additionally, the persistent oil leaks from the sump and oil filter area noted in 2018 should be inspected to ensure they have not worsened during the period of non-use.
