2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · KG02 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 07 February 2024 at 66,172 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all minimum standards at that time. This follows a consistent pattern of passes in previous years, despite a single failure recorded on 15 February 2023 at 64,091 miles which was immediately rectified to allow a pass on the same day. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,757 miles per year. Between February 2021 and February 2024, the car covered only 5,236 miles, suggesting it is used only for short trips or kept infrequently. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests—sometimes spanning over 1,500 miles—can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, dry seals, and internal corrosion in brake lines if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer viewing this Mic should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Low-mileage older cars are prone to hidden rust in the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points which the MOT may not always catch until it becomes structural. Given the age, check for perished suspension bushes and test the brake calipers for any sluggishness due to lack of use. Since the last MOT was over two years ago, a fresh roadworthiness check is essential to ensure no new defects or significant corrosion have developed since the 2024 test.
