2021 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · LM71 SPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the onset of component wear-related issues. The most recent test in November 2025 at 12,960 miles passed the vehicle despite an advisory on the offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not meet the failure threshold for excessive movement, it indicates that rubber components are beginning to degrade, likely due to the vehicle's age rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,592 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 10,358 miles and the 2025 test, the car covered only 2,602 miles. This low usage suggests the engine and drivetrain components have faced minimal mechanical stress, but it also increases the risk of flat-spotted tyres, dry seals, and seized brake calipers if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front road wheel to ensure the distortion noted in November 2024 has been rectified, as this fault often results from significant curb impact which can also compromise the wheel's structural integrity or alignment. The offside front suspension bush should be checked for further visible cracking or tearing, as the recent advisory suggests this area is deteriorating. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-used vehicles in the UK climate often suffer from oxidation on the braking surfaces.
