2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FE59 LMM

The 2009 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 at 81,792 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 21 September 2023 at 77,245 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed again the same day. Recorded mileage sits at 81,792 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 4,811 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 74,802 miles at the 24 September 2022 test, 77,245 at 21 September 2023, 79,316 at 12 October 2024, and 81,792 at 6 September 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Low annual use of this order often means longer standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even where the drivetrain sees little stress. The clean advisory history gives no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity concerns to chase. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounts for rust, as the Micra of this era is prone to underbody corrosion that MOT testers may not always record as an advisory until advanced. Check tyre sidewalls and brake calipers for age-related stiffness from low use. Given the absent defect record across five years, prior owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The same-day fail and pass in September 2023 suggests no lasting neglect. Verify service invoices to confirm fluids and cambelt intervals were met despite the modest mileage.
