2019 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · GD69 JDF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a trend of neglected attention toward minor consumable components. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 23,550 miles resulted in a pass, despite recurring advisories regarding perished tyres and a damaged windscreen. While the car has avoided mechanical failures, the persistence of these issues across multiple years suggests an owner who addresses only the minimum legal requirements rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,364 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the January 2023 test at 14,233 miles and the December 2024 test at 20,270 miles, where over 6,000 miles were covered in twenty months. This low-frequency use explains the degradation of rubber-based components, such as the cracking and perishing noted on the tyres across several tests, which often occurs due to age and dry rot rather than tread wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension specifically, as the tester flagged light oil misting on both nearside and offside front shock absorbers in January 2024 at 20,270 miles. This indicates early-stage seal failure that will eventually require replacement. The windscreen also requires attention, as it has been flagged as damaged since early 2023, and the chip may eventually expand into a crack that would fail a future test. Furthermore, the tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the recurring advisories since late 2024 indicate the rubber is reaching its structural limit despite the low mileage.
