2018 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · HO12 WHT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive wear-related repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 57,124 miles identified multiple advisories related to the front assembly—specifically thin brake pads, pitted discs, and a worn offside front anti-roll bar bush—the car had passed the previous two tests without defects. This suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable components require proactive attention. The recorded mileage of 57,124 miles over eight years averages to approximately 7,140 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-intensity urban usage for a Micra. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,000 miles between late 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the car has not sat for extended periods, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2022 test flagged worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, and the 2025 test noted a worn anti-roll bar bush. These recurring issues indicate a pattern of wear in the front-end hardware. Furthermore, the front braking system requires immediate attention as the 2025 record confirms that both the pads and pitted discs are nearing the end of their functional life and need replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance and prevent damage to the calipers.
