2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · LD02 PKY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 36,612 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, where the vehicle has remained in a passworthy condition without the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,526 miles per year. Between November 2021 and December 2022, the car covered only 125 miles, moving from 36,348 to 36,473 miles. This minimal usage suggests the car was either used for very short trips or remained stationary for long periods. While this limits wear on drivetrain components like the engine and gearbox, it often introduces risks related to fluid degradation, perished seals, and tyre rot that mileage cannot capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage storage. Particular attention is required for surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. The inspector should also check rubber-based suspension bushes and coolant hoses for cracking or splitting due to age rather than use. Despite the clean digital record, the chassis must be inspected for structural rust, as low-mileage cars are still susceptible to environmental corrosion if stored in damp conditions.
