2006 Nissan Micra 1.6L Petrol · FH06 OLJ

The 2006 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 July 2025 at 56,464 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual passes since July 2022. Recorded mileage sits at 56,464 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,823 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle, consistent accumulation: 49,226 miles in July 2022, 51,285 at the July 2023 pass, 54,490 by July 2024, and 56,464 in July 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 15 July 2023 at 51,282 miles, retested four days later at 51,285 with no defects logged. That failure carries no recorded faults, so the cause is undocumented, but the swift pass implies a minor administrative or presentation issue rather than mechanical neglect. Low annual use of this order often means long standing periods, which warrants scrutiny of perishable items. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for degradation linked to infrequent movement and moisture ingress. The tester logged no advisories across the record, so no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns appear in the official history. Given the clean MOT trail and minimal mileage, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify underside condition and check for binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres that low-use patterns can conceal before purchase.
