2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · KS09 ODT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in June 2026 at 123,995 miles passed with an advisory for front brake discs being pitted and scored. While this did not cause a failure, it confirms that the braking components are reaching the end of their effective life. The overall trend is stable but shows recurring minor mechanical and lighting issues that are addressed only when they trigger a formal MOT failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2015 at 53,440 miles and August 2016 at 92,975 miles, representing nearly 40,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has slowed considerably, with only 550 miles recorded between November 2023 and June 2026. This recent period suggests the car may have been used only for short trips or sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking assembly, as the record shows a persistent history of thin pads and scored discs across 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2026. The 2018 report of a noisy offside rear wheel bearing also warrants a physical check for play or humming during a test drive. Additionally, the recurring mentions of uneven tyre wear on edges in 2015 and 2021 indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified. Given the age of the vehicle and the noted exhaust clamp corrosion in 2019, a thorough check of the underside for structural rust is essential to ensure no deep integrity has been compromised.
