2011 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GL11 OMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that appears stable following a period of mechanical correction. In the most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 57,603 miles, the car passed, though it revealed that both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn to the legal limit of 1.8mm with inner edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry fault that requires immediate attention to ensure continued safety and prevent premature failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,840 miles per year. There is a consistent pattern of usage between tests, with 2,664 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 2,603 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between services can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and surface corrosion on braking surfaces. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically the area flagged in March 2024 at 52,436 miles when the offside front suspension arm bush failed for being excessively worn. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the recurring inner edge wear on the latest front tyres suggests that the bushes may still be failing or that the tracking is out of specification. Check the headlamp lenses for further clouding or pitting as previously noted, and inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, which is common on low-mileage vehicles of this age that have sat stationary for extended periods.
