2018 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · LL18 UDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 44,791 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving trend in maintenance as the owner has addressed several recurring issues that appeared in previous years. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the immediate mechanical concerns have been brought up to required standard. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2021 at 11,095 miles and June 2022 at 18,588 miles, which suggests the car sat stationary for extended periods. Since then, usage has increased steadily, with 26,203 miles covered between June 2022 and February 2026. This low mileage often leads to rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer must inspect the four tyres closely, as the record shows a persistent issue with perishing and sidew damage from 2022 through 2025. The low mileage increases the risk of dry rot even if the tread depth appears sufficient. Additionally, the 2023 failure highlighted corrosion on both front coil springs. While the vehicle passed since, the suspension geometry should be checked for any signs of further structural rust or stress fractures that could lead to a spring failure. The braking system also requires attention following the 2023 failure due to thin pads and worn discs. The buyer should verify that the current discs show no pitting or uneven wear, which is common in vehicles that are driven only short distances. The wipers should also be checked, as they previously caused a failure in 2024 for poor clearing. If these consumable items are well-maintained, the low mileage suggests a relatively low-wear drivetrain.
