2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FG16 PLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward mechanical wear after several years of clean records. While the inspection in August 2025 at 36,267 miles passed, it identified a nearside rear brake binding issue. This follows a 2024 test that flagged multiple advisories, indicating that the vehicle is now beginning to require attention despite the low overall usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-mileage pattern between 2021 and 2023, where the car covered relatively short distances, moving from 26,895 to 31,445 miles. However, the small intervals of roughly 2,400 miles between the most recent annual tests suggest the car may have experienced long periods of standing, which can impact rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the 2024 test noted a worn lower suspension arm pin or bush on the offside front. The recent report of a nearside rear brake binding necessitates a physical check of the caliper and sliding pins to ensure they are not seized or overly corroded. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding a tyre worn to the legal limit suggests the current set of tyres should be evaluated for uneven wear or age-related cracking.
