2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GU60 PTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026 at 70,918 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a reactive approach to cosmetic and peripheral lighting-related faults. While the car failed its February 2025 test due to headlamp defects and registration plate deterioration, these were rectified immediately for the subsequent pass. The most recent advisory regarding a deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover indicates the beginning of suspension component wear. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,918 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,432 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between each annual test from 2023 to 2026. This low-frequency use suggests limited mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it often increases the risk of rubber components, seals, and bushings degrading due to age and long periods of standing rather than high-mile stress. A buyer should inspect the front suspension in person, specifically focusing on the anti-roll bar linkages and associated bushes identified in the February 2026 report. The recurring history of headlamp lens defects and oxidation suggests the plastic housings are becoming prone to UV damage or ingress, which may require replacement. Given the low mileage and high age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from environmental rust regardless of the distance driven.
