2017 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · FD17 AAF

This Nissan Micra is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 44,101 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 20 January 2026 and 8 January 2025, the lack of recorded defects in the history suggests these failures were likely for minor administrative reasons or very quick fixes that did not leave a lasting technical footprint on the record. The vehicle has covered 44,101 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 4,900 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, increasing by 6,236 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, and 6,256 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance. There are no recurring trends of suspension wear, brake deterioration, or structural corrosion mentioned in the DVSA data. The lack of flagged issues regarding exhaust emissions or tyre tread suggests the previous owner adhered to a disciplined service schedule. A physical inspection should still focus on the effects of low annual mileage. Check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, as light use can sometimes lead to pitting. Verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coolant hoses to ensure they have not perished due to age rather than wear. Given the clean MOT record, the vehicle presents as a low-risk mechanical prospect.
