2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FL55 DWP

The 2005 Nissan Micra presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 15 March 2025 at 133,655 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual test from April 2023 onward resulting in a pass once a same-day retest cleared the vehicle. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the data. Recorded mileage rose from 91,019 miles at the 1 April 2023 test to 112,787 miles by 14 March 2024, then to 133,655 miles by 15 March 2025. That equates to roughly 21,000 miles added in two years, or about 10,800 miles per year, well above the approximate 6,365 miles per year average for the vehicle's age. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing no advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or corrosion across any test. The two failure entries dated 1 April 2023 and 15 March 2025 both show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the car is 21 years old. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the clean MOT trail. Prior owners kept the Micra to a light annual use pattern before 2023, then increased mileage sharply without triggering any flagged wear. The absence of advisories suggests basic upkeep was maintained, though the sudden mileage jump means consumables like tyres and wiper blades may now sit closer to replacement than the record implies.
