2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FN05 YPU

The 2005 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence. The May 2024 test at 116,266 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the available history. Prior to that, the April 2023 test at 106,079 miles also passed cleanly. The owner has kept the vehicle to a standard that clears the MOT without advisories in its later years. Mileage sits low for a 21-year-old car at 116,266 recorded miles, an average of roughly 5,536 miles per year. The records show a gap between September 2021 at 88,341 miles and March 2023 at 105,232 miles, then a jump to 116,266 by May 2024. The two failed tests in 2021 and 2023 carry no listed defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The sparse, clean record gives little indication of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still confirm in person that no corrosion has taken hold on structural points, given the car's age and likely periods of standing. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant a visual check for age-related degradation not captured by a pass with no defects. The low annual use means rubber components and brake calipers may have suffered from inactivity rather than wear. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition during a viewing, as these are common items to degrade on a lightly used older vehicle. The history shows no recurring mechanical trend, but the two non-defect failures mean the buyer should request the original failure notices to rule out omitted data.
