Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to recurring is

When inspecting this Micra, pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows a pattern of imbalanced brakes and binding service brakes in 2024 and 2025, which are critical safety components. Ensure the seller can provide evidence of recent brake servicing or replacement to address these previous failures.

Additionally, check the condition of all exterior lighting and the windscreen washer system. The 2026 failure highlighted issues with headlamp lens clarity and washer jet alignment. While these were resolved for the pass, they indicate a need for general upkeep of the vehicle's consumables and exterior components.

The 1386cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it relatively affordable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Micra is typically decent for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on service history and maintenance.

Annual running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage. Given the recent history of brake-related failures, you should budget for more frequent replacement of pads, discs, and potentially calipers. Estimated annual costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance fall in the mid-range for a small petrol hatchback.

Specifically inspect the braking components. The 2025 MOT failure noted front brake pads were less than 1.5mm thick and the brakes were imbalanced across the axle. You should check for any signs of uneven wear on the discs or sticking calipers, as 'excessively binding' brakes were a recorded issue in the past.

Furthermore, examine the headlights and lighting assembly. The 2026 MOT noted a 'product on the lens' affecting both front headlamps. Check that the lenses are clear and not oxidised, and ensure the registration plate lamp and all indicators are fully operational. Finally, test the windscreen washer jets to ensure they provide adequate spray coverage, as this was a recent failure point.

This 2009 black Nissan Micra with the 1.4L petrol engine has covered 113,991 miles as of its most recent MOT. The vehicle has a history of MOT failures involving braking imbalances, worn pads, and lighting issues. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026, the record shows a pattern of maintenance-related failures over the last three years.

Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
