Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sen
When inspecting this specific Micra, pay close attention to the suspension components. The 2025 MOT failure was due to excessively worn lower suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, so ensure any recent repairs to these parts have been documented.
You should also check the condition of all four tyres. The most recent MOT in February 2026 noted a nail in the offside rear tyre and a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel, suggesting the vehicle may have encountered rough road surfaces or kerbing. Ask the seller for evidence that the wheel was checked for straightness and that the tyre was replaced rather than just repaired.
The 898cc engine is positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making this an economical option for urban driving. Fuel economy for this small-capacity petrol engine is typically efficient, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Micra are generally predictable, though you should budget for suspension components and tyres, which have appeared in the MOT history. Given the current mileage, you should also be aware of standard service intervals for a vehicle of this age.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension assembly. Given the failure in early 2025 for worn suspension arm bushes, check for any knocking or creaking sounds when driving over bumps or turning the steering wheel.
Additionally, inspect the wheels for any signs of buckling or heavy scuffing, as the 2026 MOT record flagged a distorted nearside front road wheel. Finally, ensure the tyres have adequate tread depth across all four corners and that there are no visible bulges or uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues.
This 2018 black Nissan Micra with the 898cc petrol engine has covered 53,526 miles since its first registration in July 2018. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related items, specifically regarding suspension and tyres, but it has passed the majority of its tests without defects. Its mileage is significantly higher than the model's average annual mileage of 4,787.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.0%, with suspension arms and tyres being common failure points.
