2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GU64 HSD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards minor age-related defects. The most recent test in June 2025 at 46,469 miles passed but introduced several specific advisories that were absent in previous years. While the car remains legal for the road, the appearance of perishing tyres and shock absorber corrosion indicates that the vehicle is now entering a stage where rubber components are degrading due to age rather than mileage. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 46,469 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,872 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2021 and 2025, with the vehicle covering roughly 3,000 to 5,000 miles between annual inspections. This low-frequency use suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often correlates with the dry rot of rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking on the rear tyres noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system to check for the progression of the corrosion noted on the offside rear shock absorber casing. Since the 2025 test also flagged split wiper blades and perishing tyres, a thorough check of all rubber seals, bushes, and tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure no immediate failure. The lack of structural defects or brake failures over the last five years suggests a sound chassis, but the recent advisories highlight that the vehicle now requires attention to environmental and age-related degradation.
