2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FM63 LUY

The 2014 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 22 May 2025 at 38,231 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failed test on the same date at 38,228 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 24 May 2024 at 36,353 miles. Recorded mileage stands at 38,231 against an estimated 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,186 miles per year. This is low for the age. The car added just 1,878 miles between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests. Sparse records show no rapid accumulation or neglected gaps, though the twin 22 May 2025 entries imply the owner addressed a non-mechanical failure promptly. Low use of this pattern often means prolonged standing periods that can age tyres, seizing calipers, and flat-spotted rubber. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and low-mileage standing cycles. The clean MOT advisories give no flagged wear on exhaust emissions or structural integrity, but twelve years invites latent rust at sills and subframes unseen in a pass result. Verify the reason for the 22 May 2025 failure with the selling garage, confirm it carried no hidden defects, and check date-coded tyres for perishing from infrequent motion.
