Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Prioritise the recent advisories regarding corrosion. You should check if the exhaust system and front shock absorbers have been replaced since February 2026, as these are likely to require attention in the near future. Use these specific points as a basis for price negotiation.
Ensure you review the service history to confirm that the low annual mileage has been supported by regular maintenance. Given the vehicle's age, check that all fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals regardless of the low distance covered.
The 1.24L petrol engine is designed for economy, typically placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for urban commuting. Maintenance costs for the Micra are generally modest, though parts replacement increases as vehicles reach the 20-year mark.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel and the potential need to address the corrosion noted in the MOT history. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200.
Perform a detailed inspection of the vehicle's underside, specifically focusing on the exhaust system and both front shock absorbers, which were flagged for corrosion in the February 2026 MOT. Check the condition of the tyres, noting that the nearside rear was recorded as worn close to the legal limit in 2024.
Additionally, inspect the direction indicators for the discolouration mentioned in the 2024 record and check the rear registration plate for the deterioration noted in 2026. These are minor points but indicate the general wear of the vehicle's exterior plastics and trim.
This red 2006 Nissan Micra has covered 60,232 miles, which is significantly lower than the model's average annual mileage. It has a consistent record of passing its MOT tests from 2022 to 2026. However, the most recent test highlights age-related corrosion on the exhaust and front shock absorbers.
The Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77%, with common failure points typically involving suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
