2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LL07 CYY

This Nissan Micra has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent cycle ending on 29 July 2025. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude undocumented wear—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding, which often fail without MOT detection. The latest test at 48,486 miles confirms no major failures, but the lack of advisories also suggests either diligent servicing or deferred maintenance that has yet to manifest in testable conditions. Buyers should note that while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle’s age (19 years) and low mileage (2,552 miles annually) could imply prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially accelerating corrosion or fluid degradation. The mileage progression shows an unusually low annual average of just 2,552 miles, with no significant jumps or gaps between tests. From 39,785 miles in July 2021 to 48,486 miles in July 2025, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 8,700 miles over four years—a rate far below typical UK usage. While this may indicate lighter use or storage, it also raises questions about fluid changes (brakes, power steering, differential) and suspension component fatigue, as static loads can accelerate wear in bushes and seals. The consistency of the mileage suggests no rapid deterioration, but the low annual distance could mask underlying issues if servicing has been neglected. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not routinely tested, such as the suspension’s rubber bushes (especially rear), coil springs for corrosion or fatigue cracks, and brake calipers for binding or seized pistons. The brakes, while passing MOTs, may exhibit uneven wear if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, leading to glazed discs or warped rotors. Corrosion is another critical factor—check the wheel arches, subframe mounts, and exhaust system for pitting or structural weakening, as these areas are prone to deterioration even with low mileage. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are sound, so a thorough visual and functional inspection is essential.
