2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FE08 ASX

This Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 February 2026 at 51,677 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, indicating the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,871 miles per year. Between 2 March 2023 and 21 February 2026, the odometer increased by only 3,469 miles. This low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. While the lack of wear on the drivetrain is a benefit, long periods of inactivity can often lead to perished rubber components or seized calipers. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple years. A failure on 7 February 2025 at 50,095 miles was resolved within four days, though the record does not specify the defect. The absence of recurring faults suggests a well-preserved example, but the lack of recorded wear on a car of this age is atypical. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished tyres, brittle suspension bushings, and signs of surface corrosion on the chassis and sills. Verify that the brakes are not binding and that the engine oil and coolant show no signs of contamination from prolonged standing.
