2012 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GL61 ADX

This vehicle is in an exceptionally stable condition regarding its roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 at 42,392 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little wear. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 3,028 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 36,494 miles and the April 2026 test at 42,392 miles, the car covered only 5,898 miles over three years. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary. While the lack of mechanical failures is positive, low-mileage vehicles often face specific risks related to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and engine mounts can perish or crack over fourteen years of standing. Check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing or binding, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake corrosion. Verify the condition of the battery and check for any signs of fluid leaks from seals that may have dried out. Although the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or exhaust issues, a manual check of the underbody for surface rust is advisable given the vehicle's age. The absence of any recorded defects across the last four tests suggests a well-preserved example, provided these dormant-use issues are absent.
