Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this vehicle. Whil
The most urgent point for negotiation is the tyres; the March 2026 MOT record indicates that all four tyres require replacement due to wear and perishing. You should also request detailed service records to investigate why the oil level was below the minimum required for an emissions test in February 2025, as this can indicate leaks or poor maintenance habits.
Ensure you verify that the nearside front wheel bearing and CV boot, which caused a failure in early 2025, were replaced with quality parts. Given the high mileage of 121,996 miles, check for any signs of engine oil seepage or smoke from the exhaust during a cold start.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting. Insurance groups for the Micra are generally low, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model due to the vehicle's age and high mileage. Expect to budget for more frequent component replacements, such as suspension elements and tyres. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Perform a thorough inspection of all four tyres, as the March 2026 MOT specifically noted the fronts are worn on the edges and perished, and the rears are cracking. Check the nearside front area for any grease leaks that would suggest the CV boot repair from 2025 has failed.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in February 2023, to see if they have since been replaced. Finally, examine the headlamp lenses for the 'product' mentioned in the latest MOT, which may affect the clarity of the light output.
This blue 2011 Nissan Micra has covered 121,996 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average. Its MOT history reveals a failure in February 2025 due to a rough wheel bearing, a split CV boot, and oil levels too low to complete emissions testing. The most recent test in March 2026 passed but highlighted that all four tyres are either worn close to the legal limit or perished.
The Nissan Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77%, with common failures typically involving suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
