2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · FN56 HLC

The 2006 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 41,939 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a brief administrative failure in August 2024. Recorded mileage sits at 41,939 against an August 2025 test, equating to roughly 2,100 miles per year across the car's nineteen years. The DVSA entries show tight annual clustering: 39,986 miles in August 2022, 41,005 in August 2023, 41,481 in August 2024, and 41,939 in August 2025. The sparse, defect-free history offers little evidence of neglect, though the low annual use implies long standing periods between runs. The 10 August 2024 failure at 41,481 miles carries no listed defects, with a pass issued two days later on 12 August 2024 at identical mileage. This pattern points to a paperwork or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five tests on file. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and likely dormancy. Check coil springs, brake calipers, and tyre condition for perishing from disuse. The clean MOT record supports a sound baseline, but low-mileage elderly cars often hide intermittent faults that static testing will not reveal.
