2012 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GF12 EOM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 57,138 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets the minimum safety standards following initial test failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass indicates that any identified faults were rectified immediately prior to the re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 42,091 miles and March 2025 at 48,936 miles, the car covered 6,845 miles, representing a slight spike in annual usage. However, the interval between March 2025 and March 2026 saw only 8,202 miles. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear-and-tear, which can affect rubber components and fluid fluid systems. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, as low-mileage cars often sit stationary in damp environments where rust can develop uninhibited. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these components become brittle over time regardless of distance. Since the MOT record does not list specific reasons for the previous failures, the buyer must check for binding brake calipers or fluid leaks to ensure that the previous issues were not related to recurring mechanical failures.
