2020 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · LR20 XDC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 15 June 2026. While the overall history shows a consistent pass rate, the maintenance trend indicates a gradual accumulation of wear and tear items that have not been proactively addressed. Specifically, the transition from a clean record in 2023 to recurring advisories regarding braking and suspension components suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 36,451 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,075 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a small city car, suggesting the drivetrain and interior should show moderate, age-appropriate wear. There are no indications of excessive mileage or prolonged periods of standing, meaning the mechanical components have likely been kept in regular use, which generally benefits seal integrity and battery health. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the offside front suspension, as the suspension arm pin or bush has been flagged as worn since February 2025. This recurring advisory indicates that the component is degrading and may soon require replacement to prevent excessive play in the steering. During a test drive, listen for clunking or creaking noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or when driving over uneven road surfaces. This wear often correlates with the offside front tyre edge wear noted in previous records, so a thorough inspection of the current tyre tread for uneven wear is essential to ensure the vehicle tracking is correct. Furthermore, the 2024 MOT record highlighted worn, pitted, and scored front brake discs along with thin brake pads. You must verify through service records or a physical inspection whether these consumables were replaced following that test. If they remain, you may experience brake shudder or reduced stopping efficiency. Check the condition of the disc surfaces for heavy corrosion or scoring and ensure the brake pedal feels firm without excessive travel. Finally, verify that the service book is stamped according to the manufacturer intervals to ensure the engine oil and filters have been maintained.
