Our Verdict
This Nissan Micra diesel offers reasonab
Although every MOT has been a pass, the most recent test produced six advisories in one go — notably more than the previous four years combined. This is the single most important thing to weigh up. Front brake discs, front suspension arm bushes, a shock absorber with oil misting, and two tyres with sidewall cuts are all flagged, and none of them is technically urgent, but together they hint that a batch of consumables is approaching replacement. Use them as negotiating points: any reasonable seller should be open to a £400-£700 reduction to cover disc, tyre and bush work soon after purchase.
On the diesel-specific side, the 1.5 dCi unit used in this generation of Micra is uncommon in this class, which can affect parts availability for some consumables. Ask the seller for evidence of cambelt or timing chain service if mileage is approaching 60,000 — the diesel Micra has specific timing belt intervals. Check that the DPF has been used regularly on motorway journeys, as short urban hops are a known cause of DPF issues in this engine family. A 15-minute test drive including a sustained 30mph+ cruise will help you spot any DPF warning lights or rough running.
Always view the V5C in person to confirm the keeper history matches what the seller says, and cross-reference the recorded mileages against the MOT readings shown above (15,038 → 19,951 → 29,904 → 35,651). Each annual jump is in line with average use, so there is no obvious mileage anomaly to worry about.
The 1.5 dCi Micra is one of the more frugal small cars on the market, with real-world diesel economy typically in the 55-65 mpg range. Road tax sits in a low band thanks to its Euro 6AD compliance, though diesel cars no longer benefit from free VED in most cases. Insurance is usually group 8-10, which keeps premiums modest for a supermini.
Maintenance costs are generally low for this model, with standard service items such as oil, filter and brake fluid changes being inexpensive. However, the recent advisories suggest that brake discs, tyres and suspension bushes are all approaching the end of their useful life, so budget for around £300-£500 of work in the first 12 months if you do not negotiate this down. Diesel-specific items such as EGR valves and the DPF can be costly if they fail, though the clean MOT history suggests this has not been an issue so far. Overall estimated annual running cost is around £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
Start by closely inspecting the front brake discs referenced in the May 2026 advisory. Jack the car up or use a viewing ramp and run a finger around the disc surface — grooves, a sharp lip on the outer edge, or blueing from overheating indicate the discs are closer to replacement than the MOT advisory suggests. Similarly, check the front suspension arm bushes for any cracking of the rubber or obvious play when the wheel is rocked by hand. The advisory wording 'not resulting in excessive movement' means there is measurable wear but it has not yet failed.
Examine all four tyres for sidewall cuts, paying attention to the nearside and offside rear tyres flagged in May 2026. Even minor cuts can develop into bulges under load. The offside front shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting, which is an early sign of seal failure — look for dampness or residue around the shock body and test for any inconsistency in damping by pushing down hard on each front corner and watching how many oscillations occur before the car settles. More than one and a half bounces suggests the shock is weakening.
Finally, listen carefully on the test drive for any diesel-specific concerns: a rattling timing chain on cold start, excessive smoke from the exhaust, or any DPF warning light. Make sure the car is driven for at least 20 minutes during your viewing to allow the DPF regen cycle to complete if it needs to.
Registered May 2019, this diesel Micra has covered 35,651 miles across five recorded MOT tests, all of which it has passed. The first four tests (2022-2025) returned no recorded defects, but the most recent test in May 2026 listed six advisories covering brake discs, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and tyres. While passing rather than failing is reassuring, the cluster of advisories in a single test suggests wear items are beginning to accumulate at this mileage point.
The Nissan Micra shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.0% across 293,833 analysed examples, with tyre, suspension arm and headlamp issues the most common failure reasons — broadly consistent with the advisories seen on this particular vehicle.
