2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · EX10 OVS

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-18 recorded front brake discs worn but not excessively (1.1.14 (a) (i)), with no major defects. This suggests the vehicle passed its test, but the recurring mention of brake disc wear since 2022 indicates a consistent issue. The 2024 and 2023 MOTs noted pitted or scored front brake discs , though not seriously weakened, and the 2022 entry also flagged nearside front tyre perishing . These patterns point to ongoing wear on braking components and rubber parts , which may require closer inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 52,212 miles for a 16-year-old car is very low by conventional standards, averaging 3,263 miles annually. This could imply light use or long periods of inactivity , which might reduce mechanical wear but increase risks of rubber degradation (e.g., tyres, wiper blades) and corrosion. However, the low mileage does not fully explain the recurring brake disc wear, which may reflect inadequate maintenance or design limitations in the braking system. The MOT history shows no major defects in recent years , but the repeated advisories about brake discs and tyres suggest a stable but concerning trend . The 2023 failure due to misaligned windscreen washer jets and tyre perishing highlights minor but recurring issues. While the 2025 test was a pass, the consistent focus on wear and perishing indicates the vehicle may require proactive maintenance to address aging components.
