2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FN13 FSC

The 2013 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 March 2025 at 107,994 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the recorded history, though the recent test cycle exposed administrative or presentation faults rather than mechanical decay. The vehicle cleared with a full pass just seven days after a 24 February 2025 failure at 107,983 miles where the tester recorded no defects, implying a documentation or identification issue rather than a worn component. Mileage sat at 98,369 for the February 2023 pass, rose to 103,105 by the dual fail-pass on 20 February 2024, and reached 107,994 by March 2025. That equates to roughly 4,700 miles in the first interval and 4,900 in the second, well below the 8,300 annual average for the age. The low annual accumulation suggests gentle use, yet the sparse record leaves long gaps unobserved between tests where consumable wear or corrosion could develop unseen. A prior failure on 20 February 2024 at 103,105 miles with no defects recorded, mirrored by the February 2025 failure, points to non-mechanical rejection grounds such as lamp aim, plate legibility, or paperwork mismatch rather than suspension bushes or brake discs. The buyer should still confirm structural integrity underneath, as 13-year-old Japanese superminis commonly show exhaust and subframe corrosion where salt exposure occurred. Inspect coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre sidewalls in person. Given the absence of advisories across every entry, previous keepers likely addressed issues pre-test or the car saw light urban duty. Verify the V5C details and test certificate numbers against the DVSA portal, since two zero-defect failures suggest clerical mismatch rather than deferred maintenance. A short pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to catch undocumented wear.
