2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · KB04 EEX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test data. The-last test conducted on 28 December 2023 at 74,597 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This pattern mirrors the results from December 2022, where the car also failed but subsequently passed, suggesting that the previous owner proactively addressed minor rectifyable issues to maintain legal compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,391 miles per annum. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the car covered 4,365 miles, followed by another 4,161 miles in the following year. This consistent, low-rate usage indicates light use which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion on brake surfaces due to a lack of operational cleaning. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically focusing on the sills, floor, and wheel arches where these Micras are prone to corrosion over two decades. While the low mileage suggests minimal engine wear, the age necessitates checking for perished suspension bushes and cracked rubber hoses that degrade with time rather than distance. Inspect the braking system for binding calipers or heavily pitted discs, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from components seizing when not used regularly.
