2011 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GF11 VHC

The 2011 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 78,431 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from June 2022 to June 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 13 June 2022 at 61,710 miles, reversed three days later on 16 June 2022 at 61,725 miles with a pass and no defects logged, which suggests an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 78,431 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 5,229 miles per year. The odometer moved from 61,725 in June 2022 to 66,346 by June 2023, then 74,072 in June 2024 and 78,431 in July 2025. That is consistent low annual use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sweep of passes with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion points to a lightly used car whose previous keepers kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory history. Low-mileage cars left standing for periods often develop perished rubber components, stiff suspension bushes, or surface corrosion on sills and subframes not yet caught by the test bay. The brake discs and calipers warrant a check for binding or uneven wear from inactivity. Verify the June 2022 fail-and-pass sequence with the DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the Micra's record implies careful ownership, and with a current pass only days short of twelve months old it remains a sound used buy pending a routine pre-purchase check.
