2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LD63 ADV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 78,113 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just two days prior. That failed test revealed multiple mechanical issues including pitted front brake discs, binding rear brake calipers, and an excessively worn offside front wishbone bush. The fact that these faults were addressed immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner is willing to replace components only when they reach a legal failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between November 2023 and November 2024, where the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower annual totals in previous periods. However, the record shows a discrepancy where the November 2024 test recorded 82,586 miles, while the November 2025 test recorded only 78,113 miles. This regression in recorded mileage suggests a clerical error in the DVSA database that requires verification against the physical odometer to ensure the history is accurate. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have shown recurring signs of wear and neglect. The 2025 failure specifically highlighted binding rear brakes and front suspension bushes, which are prone to causing uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the history of perishing tyres and structural damage between 2019 and 2020 indicates the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to rubber degradation. Check the current state of all tyre sidewalls for cracking and ensure the washer system is fully functional, as this has failed multiple times previously.
