2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · EY02 KWZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent pass record following a minor setback. The most recent test conducted in October 2024 at 108,565 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met minimum standards at that time. Since the failure in 2022, the maintenance trend suggests the current ownership has addressed necessary repairs and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady but modest usage pattern, with 5,188 miles covered between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 12,120 miles between August 2023 and October 2024. While low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Nissan Micras are prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points. Although the MOT history lacks recent advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for rust that has not yet reached a structural threshold. Given the low annual mileage, also inspect the brake calipers for seizing and the condition of the tyres and suspension bushes, as these parts often perish due to age and exposure rather than distance.
