Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The MOT history shows repeated advisories for brake binding (2023, 2024) and suspension arm wear (2023, 2026), the latter of which is a known common failure point for this model. You should request detailed invoices to confirm that the SRS fault that caused the January 2026 failure was fully repaired rather than just reset.
Given the low mileage but presence of corrosion on brake pipes and coil springs, this vehicle may have spent significant time stationary or in a damp environment. Negotiate the price based on the likely need for upcoming suspension refurbishments and the monitoring of underbody corrosion.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for economy, typically placing it in a lower VED tax bracket and a low insurance group, making it affordable for new drivers or city commuters. Maintenance costs are generally modest for the Micra, though the recurring suspension and brake issues seen here may increase short-term spending.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel and insurance. Given the engine size and model type, typical annual running costs are expected to be relatively low, provided no major mechanical failures occur.
Carefully inspect the rear brake pipes and all four coil springs for signs of advanced corrosion, as these were specifically flagged in the 2024 and 2026 MOTs. Check the front lower suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages for play, as these have been recorded as worn or having 'slight play' across multiple tests.
Verify that the SRS warning lamp is not illuminated on the dashboard. Additionally, check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring and ensure there is no binding when the wheels are rotated, following the advisories noted in 2023 and 2024.
This 2014 white Nissan Micra has covered 31,208 miles, which is significantly below the average for its age. However, the MOT records show a pattern of brake binding and suspension wear, alongside a recent failure due to a Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp. Corrosion has also been specifically noted on the coil springs and rear brake pipes.
The Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77%, with suspension arms listed as a top failure reason, a trend mirrored in this vehicle's history.
