2022 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · GY22 AZP

The 2022 Nissan Micra presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 26 May 2026 at 13,349 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and, by all available evidence, improving, as the vehicle has now recorded two consecutive passes with no advisories or failures. The previous test on 28 May 2025 at 11,188 miles was also a clean pass, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural issues have surfaced across the two recorded inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests, the car covered just 2,161 miles, bringing the total to 13,349 at the most recent inspection. This equates to roughly 3,337 miles per year over its life, well below the UK average of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain, but extended periods of short journeys or standing can introduce their own risks, including brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and DPF regeneration issues if applicable. The sparse but consistent two-test record leaves no gaps or anomalies to flag. With no faults recorded across either MOT, there are no recurring defects to raise concern. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas that MOT testing does not fully stress-test. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, as low-mileage vehicles often have tyres that appear serviceable but may be approaching age-related deterioration given the car is over four years old. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop quickly on a vehicle used for short trips. Examine the underside for any early signs of corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and exhaust fixings, as standing or infrequent use does not always protect against moisture ingress. Verify that the engine reaches full operating temperature on a test drive and that the exhaust emissions remain clean under load, since low-mileage petrol engines can suffer from carbon buildup and inefficient combustion if never driven at sustained speed.
