2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FH05 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 August 2025 with 209,351 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day, the final clean test sheet suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying faults quickly to maintain road legality. The lack of recorded advisories in the two most recent tests indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards despite its high age and mileage. At 21 years old, the recorded 209,351 miles represent an average usage of approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns for this era. The data shows a significant interval of 28,444 miles between September 2022 and June 2024, followed by another 28,295 miles in the year between June 2024 and August 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the car is used regularly rather than left stationary, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components and rubber seals that can perish during long-term standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are the primary failure points for aged Micras. Given the high mileage, examine the chassis for corrosion corrosion, particularly around the sills, rear subframe, and mounting points. Although the MOT records do not list specific mechanical defects, the age necessitates a check for wear on suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake lines, which often degrade before they trigger a formal test failure.
