2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FN54 YSB

The 2004 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 58,084 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring advisories, and no structural or mechanical concerns logged by testers across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 58,084 against an age of roughly 22 years, equating to about 2,640 miles per year. The DVSA entries confirm light use: the car covered only 1,431 miles between the February 2022 test at 51,644 miles and the February 2026 test at 58,084 miles. Annual increments stay tight, from 53,675 miles in February 2023 to 55,120 in February 2024, 56,653 in February 2025, and 58,084 in February 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, clean record suggests a low-mileage, gently driven vehicle that has not faced heavy wear cycles. A buyer should still verify in person what a stationary low-mileage car can hide. Long periods off the road promote perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes, track-rod gaiters, and tyre sidewalls, none of which the MOT flagged but all of which degrade with age rather than distance. Inspect brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after disuse, and check underside structural integrity for rust on sills and subframes despite the clean tests. Given the unbroken pass record and minimal annual coverage, previous ownership appears disciplined about statutory testing. The absence of advisories implies basic upkeep was not neglected. Treat the Micra as mechanically sound on paper, but commission a pre-purchase inspection focused on age-related rubber and corrosion before committing.
