2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · GY63 TVM

This 2013 Nissan Micra has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests spanning December 2022 to January 2026. The most recent test on January 13, 2026, was unusually duplicated—both entries show a pass at 98,387 miles—though this does not imply mechanical issues, as no failures were logged. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently within legal limits, though this does not guarantee hidden wear beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 98,387 miles at the latest test reflects a steady accumulation of approximately 7,500 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing—each MOT was conducted within the required 12-month window, with the most recent test occurring just six months ago. This regularity implies the vehicle has been kept in active use without prolonged periods of neglect, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear on non-MOT items (such as suspension bushes or timing belt condition) cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components not covered by the test. Focus on the suspension—check for cracked coil springs, worn-out bushes, and excessive play in the steering rack. The brakes, while not failed, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been driven hard. Structural integrity is critical; examine the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as 13-year-old vehicles in the UK often develop hidden rust. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or sagging supports, as these are common failure points in this model range.
