2017 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · LG67 UFP

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-02 recorded four tyres with slight damage or perishing, all on the front and rear nearside and offside. These were categorised under 5.2.3 (d) (ii), indicating minor surface cracks or deterioration. No other defects were noted, and the test passed. This suggests the tyres are nearing the end of their usable life, though the damage is not yet critical. The 2023-09-28 MOT failed due to excessive wear on the offside front lower suspension arm bush (5.3.4 (a) (i)). This was the only defect in the five-year history, and no follow-up failure was recorded in the 2025 MOT. While the suspension issue was addressed, its absence in later tests implies it may have been repaired. However, the lack of details about repairs means this remains uncertain. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,882 miles over nine years equates to roughly 2,654 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to tyre perishing and component stiffness.
