2021 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · EX21 FFM

The Nissan Micra presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT, conducted on 6 March 2026 at 8,627 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. Looking back through the entire history, the maintenance trend is remarkably stable. Every single test in the record, spanning from January 2024 through March 2026, resulted in a pass with no advisories or failures noted. The vehicle has been consistently maintained to a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2021-registered vehicle. Accumulating just 8,627 miles over roughly five years equates to an average of approximately 1,725 miles annually. The progression between tests is steady and gradual. The car moved from 5,191 miles in January 2024 to 6,792 miles by January 2025, then to 7,455 miles by November 2025, and finally to 8,627 miles in March 2026. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the odometer readings. The data suggests light, regular urban or short-trip use rather than long periods of dormancy. Despite the clean MOT record, the extremely low mileage warrants a physical inspection focused on components that deteriorate with age and lack of use rather than mileage. A buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for date codes and perishing, as the original rubber may be approaching its service life even with minimal tread wear. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion and binding, which commonly affects vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for moisture-related corrosion rather than the typical heat-cycle wear seen on higher-mileage examples. The suspension and steering components, while not flagged in any test, should still be physically checked for seized joints or deteriorated rubber bushes that can stiffen and crack on a car driven so infrequently. The battery health is another critical area, as short journeys and long idle periods are the primary killers of modern automotive batteries. Overall, the electronic and mechanical record is flawless, but the true condition of this Micra will depend on how well it has been stored and whether it has been periodically exercised to keep systems lubricated and components free from seizure.
