2007 Nissan Micra 1.4L Petrol · GF07 BYG

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a worsening trend of mechanical neglect in recent years. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 106,132 miles, this followed a failure involving multiple critical issues including an inoperative engine management light and brake system faults. The persistence of a brake fluid warning lamp and corroded rear brake hoses across the last three years of testing suggests that the current owner is only addressing the minimum requirements to pass the test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 106,132 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The history shows significant stability between 2015 and 2020, where the vehicle recorded no defects. However, the mileage accumulation has slowed since 2021, coinciding with the onset of recurring mechanical failures. This low-mileage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluids due to age, which is evidenced by the perished tyres and corroded hardware noted in the later records. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The record consistently flags pitted front discs and worn rear drums since 2024, alongside a corroded rear brake hose ferrule. The presence of play in the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints as of 2025 indicates wear in the suspension that may affect vehicle handling. Furthermore, the persistent oil leak noted since 2024 requires a physical check to determine if it is a minor seal weep or a significant engine gasket failure that could lead to oil starvation over time.
