2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LL59 UGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 6, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The failure just one day prior to that pass at 66,029 miles highlights a significant neglect of safety equipment involving all four tyres and a failed bulb. While these issues were rectified immediately to secure the pass, the recurring nature of tyre advisories suggests the owner only addressed these components when forced by an MOT test failure. At 16 years old, the recorded 66,029 miles represent a very low average of approximately 4,127 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with only about 6,166 miles covered between the January 2024 and January 2026 tests. However, low mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking noted on the offside rear tyre in early 2026 despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer must closely inspect the suspension system, as the 2023 test flagged worn suspension arm pins and rear wishbone bushes at 57,115 miles. Although these did not reappear in subsequent tests, the low mileage and high age mean these rubber components may dry out and crack over time. Given the history of tyre failures, a physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and brake arches, as long-standing vehicles are prone to surface rust that is not always captured by low annual mileage alone.
