AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a passed roadworthiness status as of its most recent test on 15 October 2021 at 155,524 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be firmly classed as stable, worsening, or improving because only a single MOT entry is available; the lone clean pass gives no recurring fault pattern to judge. At roughly 23 years old the Micra shows 155,524 recorded miles, an average of about 6,762 miles per year which is typical for the age. The history contains just one entry, dated 15 October 2021, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps between tests can be evidenced from the supplied data. The clean sheet at that test suggests the car met minimum standards four years before today's date of 8 July 2026. A buyer should treat the 2021 pass as dated and arrange a fresh inspection. With no advisories logged, the record implies no prior warning on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, but a car of this mileage and age commonly develops perished rubber components and underbody rust unseen in 2021. Given the sparse history, verify current tyre tread, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person. Confirm the odometer has not advanced far beyond 155,524 miles since the last test and check for any new binding calipers or worn steering joints that a four-year gap would conceal.
