2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LD13 DFX

The Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 40,419 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in February 2025 at 37,542 miles, February 2024 at 32,372 miles, and March 2023 at 28,974 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the three-year window. The odometer shows 40,419 miles against a 2013 build, an average of roughly 3,109 miles per year. Annual increments stayed modest: 3,398 miles between March 2023 and February 2024, then 5,170, 2,877, and 2,877 miles in the following years. Such low accumulated distance suggests light use or prolonged standing periods, with no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps in testing. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, offering no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. Low mileage combined with age raises the risk of perishing rubber components, seized calipers from disuse, and surface structural rust on sills or subframes not captured by a pass result. The tester noted no exhaust emissions issues or binding brakes, yet standing time can mask degraded coil springs or stiff steering joints. Given the unbroken pass history and minimal mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify service records independently and confirm the February 2026 failure entry was a clerical reversal, not a suppressed defect.
