2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · KL54 UXA

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While the Micra passed its most recent test in January 2023 at 79,927 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior due to a critical electronic power steering malfunction. The MOT history shows a persistent failure to address advisory items, specifically regarding brake components and fluid leaks, across multiple testing years, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they reach the threshold of a legal test failure. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,927 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which explains the significant corrosion on the rear brake pipes and the pitting on the front discs. There is a concerning gap in the data as the last recorded test was performed in January 2023. Given today is June 2026, the vehicle is over three years out of test, leaving the current state of the rubber components and mechanical seals unknown. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and cooling circuit. The rear brake pipes have been flagged as corroded since at least 2021, and the front discs show consistent signs of pitting due to lack of use. The coolant leak noted in early 2022 requires investigation to ensure it has not led to head gasket damage or overheating. Furthermore, because the electronic power steering failed in 2023, the steering rack must be verified to ensure the repair was permanent and not temporary, as such faults are expensive to rectify on older Micras.
