2019 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · LE19 DND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline in attention to rubber components and visibility equipment. The most recent test in June 2025 at 2,540 miles resulted in a failure due to ineffective windscreen wipers and perishing rubber on all four tyres. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the recurring nature of tyre-related defects suggests that the vehicle is suffering from age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 363 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 1,000 miles and June 2025 at 2,540 miles, the car covered only 740 miles. This low usage explains the lack of wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it directly correlates with the issues identified in the MOT records. Long periods of standing often lead to dry rot in tyres, flat-spotted discs, and seized brake components despite the high tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre set, as the record shows all four tyres were flagged for cracking or perishing in 2024 and 2025. Even with deep tread, the rubber compound becomes brittle over time without use. The buyer should also verify the wiper blade mechanism and arms, as the history indicates a persistent failure to clear the glass effectively. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for brake disc corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seized, as the primary mechanical risk on this Micra is the degradation of seals and rubber components that have not been regularly exercised.
