1991 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · J850 LCM

The 1991 Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 6 March 2024 at 99,081 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history. A single failure on 5 March 2024 at 99,078 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical breakdown, and the vehicle passed the following day. Recorded mileage sits at 99,081 against roughly 35 years of age, an average of about 2,831 miles per year and markedly low for the period. The tests show long dormancy between inspections: after the 13 December 2019 pass at 84,338 miles, the next record is 24 March 2021 at 87,963 miles, then a jump to 88,316 on 6 March 2023, and 99,081 by March 2024. That final 12-month gain of 10,765 miles is the largest in the sequence and suggests heavier recent use after years of standing. The clean advisory sheet across all entries means the tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still treat the age and low-mileage-standing combination as a rust risk on sills and subframes even where the MOT shows no structural integrity defects. The abrupt 2024 failure with no listed defect warrants confirmation the V5C and test certificate match and that no suppressed brake or lighting fault was corrected off-record. Given the Micra's light annual use and absent advisories, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current without obvious neglect of consumables. In-person checks should focus on perished rubber components, seized calipers from inactivity, and hidden chassis corrosion that a short test may not expose on a 35-year-old vehicle.
