2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · KF05 CJE

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 showed the vehicle passed with two issues: a non-excessive oil leak and front brake discs worn but not excessively. These align with recurring patterns seen in earlier reports, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs. The 2024-05-09 MOT included both a failed and passed result for the same date, highlighting significant concerns. The failed test listed severe headlamp faults (dim beams, reduced light output), corroded rear coil springs, tyre damage, and persistent oil leaks. These issues indicate potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions, though some were addressed by the subsequent passed MOT. Recurring defects include oil leaks, brake disc wear, and tyre degradation. The 2024 failed MOT also noted corroded coil springs, a safety risk that could compromise suspension integrity. While the 2025 MOT showed no new suspension issues, the history suggests a trend of minor but persistent faults rather than a worsening condition. However, the 2024 failure included more severe problems than earlier years, raising questions about maintenance consistency. The vehicle’s low mileage (2,944 miles annually) is unusual for its age.
