Our Verdict
A highly attractive, low-mileage example
Given the exceptionally low mileage, your primary focus should be on the effects of age rather than wear. Check for 'perishing' rubber components, such as coolant hoses and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade over 16 years regardless of distance travelled. Verify the service history to ensure oil and filters were changed at regular intervals even if the annual mileage was low.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres; if they are original or several years old, they will likely need replacing for safety despite having plenty of tread. Ensure the battery is healthy, as vehicles with very low usage are more prone to battery failure.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically placing it in a lower insurance group and a modest road tax bracket. Maintenance costs for the Micra are generally affordable due to the widespread availability of parts in the UK.
Annual running costs will be kept low by the engine's small displacement, though fuel economy will depend on driving style. Expect typical city-car expenses for annual servicing and insurance.
Inspect the windscreen wipers and rubber seals, as a failure for an ineffective wiper was recorded in June 2025. While this vehicle has a clean record, be mindful of suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres, as these are the top failure reasons for this model across 294,367 analysed vehicles.
Pay close attention to the braking system; check for any signs of corrosion or sticking calipers, which can occur when a car spends long periods stationary. A test drive should confirm there are no unusual knocks from the suspension, a known weak point for the wider model range.
This silver 1.2L petrol Micra has recorded remarkably low mileage of 10,481 miles since its first registration in March 2010. Its MOT history is consistent, with only one minor failure for a windscreen wiper in 2025 and no defects recorded in the most recent 2026 test. Compared to the model average, this specific vehicle has been used very sparingly.
The Nissan Micra maintains a 77% average MOT pass rate across nearly 300,000 vehicles, indicating reasonable reliability for its class.
