2003 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GL03 AHU

The Nissan Micra passed its most recent MOT on 7 February 2024 at 120,926 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle cleared every pass test without advisories and the only failures logged were on 6 February 2024 and 7 February 2023, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and with no defects listed, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 23-year-old vehicle, rising from 106,520 miles at the 8 February 2022 test to 114,297 miles on 7 February 2023 and 120,926 miles by 7 February 2024. That equates to roughly 6,777 miles annually over the last two years, only marginally above the lifetime average of 5,258 miles per year. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any entry, and the two failure lines carry zero defect codes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's 2003 build date and the likelihood of prolonged standing implied by low annual mileage. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the Micra from age-related degradation of coil springs, flexible brake hoses, or subframe rust that testers may have overlooked or that developed after the February 2024 test. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern at 114,297 and 120,899 miles points to previous owners correcting minor non-mechanical matters before retest rather than neglecting upkeep. Verify the V5C and service history to confirm whether the unexplained failure entries reflect documentation errors or genuine presentation defects such as number plate or warning lamp issues.
