2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FH54 FFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes across several years. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 44,954 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, despite an initial failure on the same day that recorded no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record throughout the previous three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,043 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between December 2022 at 26,397 miles and November 2023 at 27,132 miles, where only 735 miles were covered in a year. However, the jump of nearly 8,000 miles between December 2024 and November 2025 indicates more recent regular use. This low mileage generally preserves mechanical components but introduces risks of age-related degradation rather than mileage-related fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and fluids that degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot which often occurs on vehicles parked for long periods. Check the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers, as braking systems can oxidize when not used frequently. While the MOT history is clean, checking the sills and underbody for structural rust is essential to ensure corrosion has not compromised the integrity of the older chassis.
