2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FE59 FTA

The 2009 Nissan Micra has a mixed MOT history with no recorded defects, but frequent failures and passes at the same mileage. The most recent MOT on 2021-12-13 showed a pass , but earlier entries include a fail on 2021-12-11 and another on 2019-06-04. All entries at 154,458 miles (the current recorded mileage) show no defects, suggesting the failures may have been procedural or related to non-critical issues. The vehicle’s age (17 years) and mileage (154,458 miles) align with an average annual usage of ~9,086 miles, which is typical for its age. This implies no extreme under-use or heavy wear, but the lack of recent MOT data (last recorded in 2021) raises concerns about maintenance history. Without updated inspections, it is unclear if the car has been properly maintained or if hidden issues have developed. The MOT pattern shows no recurring mechanical defects, but the frequent failures at the same mileage suggest potential inconsistencies in testing or compliance. The absence of defects in passes does not guarantee the vehicle is free of issues, as some faults may not trigger MOT failures. The trend appears stable in terms of recorded defects, but the long gap since the last MOT limits visibility into current condition. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brakes, suspension, and engine for wear, as these components are critical for safety and longevity.
