2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GU10 KTK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent record of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 37,269 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a consistent maintenance standard where the vehicle has remained in a roadworthy condition without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typical of older Japanese city cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. Between January 2021 at 32,330 miles and April 2025 at 37,269 miles, the car covered only 4,939 miles, suggesting very infrequent use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or surface corrosion on braking components that is not always captured during a stationary inspection. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on potential issues associated with low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perished-seated beads, as rubber ages regardless of tread depth. The brake discs should be inspected for heavy pitting or rust, which often occurs when vehicles sit for extended periods. Additionally, examine the underbody and suspension bushes for early structural corrosion, as the lack of mileage does not protect the chassis from environmental oxidation over sixteen years.
