2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FH05 AEC

The 2005 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 113,938 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 15 October 2024 at 114,452 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared consecutive annual examinations without advisories or failures. Mileage data shows light use for a 21-year-old car. The record logs 86,027 miles at the 15 November 2022 test, rising to 99,121 miles by 31 October 2023 and 107,441 miles at the 15 October 2024 failure entry, then 114,452 miles on the same date pass, before dropping to 113,938 miles at the 2025 test. The October 2024 duplicate entries at differing mileages reflect a failed submission and immediate retest rather than a fault, and the slight mileage reduction in 2025 suggests a clerical correction or minimal running. Average annual use sits near 5,400 miles, indicating the car spent periods idle. No tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across the five-year record. The absence of advisories points to either conscientious upkeep or superficial testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, subframe rust, and binding calipers, as MOT passes on low-mileage elderly vehicles often miss gradual perishables. Given the clean history and low throughput, previous owners likely stored the car rather than neglected it, but standing time accelerates rubber degradation and fluid contamination unseen on a pass certificate. Verify underseal condition and brake hose flexibility before purchase.
