2018 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · LP68 VCK

The 2018 Nissan Micra’s most recent MOT, conducted on 16 December 2025 at 13,312 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The test history over the past three years shows a stable pattern—no recurring advisories or failures—though the duplicate entry for 11,617 miles in December 2024 suggests either an administrative error or a brief lapse in scheduling. Since the last pass, the vehicle has accumulated 1,693 miles , placing it just under the 12-month MOT cycle threshold (13,312 miles since the previous test). This indicates the car has not yet reached its next mandatory inspection, but the lack of advisories in recent tests implies no urgent mechanical concerns have been overlooked. The recorded mileage of 13,312 miles over 8 years —roughly 1,664 miles per annum —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between tests is consistent, with 1,581 miles between the January 2023 and December 2023 passes, and 1,415 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation, which could have accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. However, low mileage does not preclude hidden issues—corrosion, for instance, may have developed during storage, particularly in the wheel arches or sills. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components , including bushings and coil springs, for dry rot or excessive play, especially if the car has spent extended periods stationary. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the 2024 duplicate entry might hint at a near-miss failure. Tyres, though not mentioned in the record, should be checked for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, examine the underbody for corrosion , particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as prolonged low-mileage periods can exacerbate rust development. The absence of advisories is reassuring, but these areas demand close attention to confirm the vehicle’s true condition.
