Our Verdict
This 2007 Nissan Micra presents as a sol
The strongest negotiating point here is the car's age rather than its history: at 19 years old, even a low-mileage Micra is a budget purchase, so ensure the asking price reflects that. The MOT record shows repeated advisories for slight play in the offside front track rod end (2024 and 2025) and a suspension arm ball joint (2023) — ask whether these have been addressed, as worn ball joints will eventually become MOT failures and affect steering precision. Given the very low annual mileage (around 2,500-3,000 miles per year recently), check for evidence of regular oil changes, as infrequent use can be as hard on an engine as high mileage if servicing has been neglected.
Ask to see any service history and receipts, particularly for brake work, since the 2026 test noted a worn front inner brake disc. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic would be money well spent on a car of this age, focusing on corrosion, suspension components, and evidence of timing chain wear on the 1.2 engine. If the seller can demonstrate the advisory items have been rectified, this strengthens the car's case considerably.
Running costs should be modest. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is economical for urban use, and small petrol engines of this era typically return in the region of 45-50 mpg in mixed driving. As a pre-March-2006-style vehicle is not applicable here — this car was registered in March 2007 — it falls under the standard CO2-based VED bands, and a 1.2 Micra of this period typically sits in a lower tax band, keeping annual VED affordable. Insurance should also be inexpensive, as the Micra traditionally sits in low insurance groups.
Maintenance costs are generally low for this model, with parts widely available and inexpensive. Budget for the advisory items seen in the MOT history — a track rod end, wiper blades, and potentially a front brake disc — which are all relatively cheap repairs. Overall, expect annual running costs in the region of £700-£900 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, assuming typical low annual mileage similar to this car's recent pattern.
Start with the items flagged in the MOT history. The offside front track rod end has shown slight play in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, so check for any knocking or looseness in the steering on a test drive and inspect the joint for wear. The 2023 test noted slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint — suspension arms are among the most common MOT failure points for this model nationally, so have this checked on a ramp. The 2026 test recorded a worn front inner brake disc, a defective offside front wiper blade, and a non-working non-obligatory rear stop lamp; verify these have been replaced or repaired.
Beyond the MOT items, inspect the car for rust, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, as corrosion is a realistic concern on any 19-year-old car regardless of mileage. Check the engine for smooth idle and listen for any rattling from the timing chain area on start-up, and confirm the clutch and gearbox operate smoothly. Finally, verify the mileage progression is consistent — the recorded figures (26,387 in 2022 rising steadily to 36,236 in 2026) show a logical, consistent pattern with no red flags.
KU07OCA is a grey 1.2-litre petrol Nissan Micra first registered in March 2007, now showing just 36,236 miles as of July 2026 — well below what would be expected for its age. Its MOT record shows five consecutive passes between 2022 and 2026 with no failures, and the advisories recorded are limited to minor wear items such as a slightly worn front brake disc, slight play in a track rod end, and a defective wiper blade. For context, the Micra model average MOT pass rate is 77.0%, and this car's clean run of passes compares favourably. The recurring steering and suspension ball joint advisories are worth monitoring but have not yet escalated to failures.
Across 294,367 Nissan Micras analysed, the model records an average MOT pass rate of 77.0%, with suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres the most common failure items. This particular car's run of five clean passes sits comfortably above that model average.
