2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LR59 OBG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent testing. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 102,077 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the safety components currently meet minimum standards. While the car failed a test in September 2024 at 101,373 miles, the immediate pass on the retest that same day suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified quickly without indicating a chronic or worsening mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent pattern, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 1,743 miles, while it clocked another 1,128 miles in the year leading up to the 2024 failure. This low-annual usage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to dry-rott components or fluid degradation over time. Given the lack of recurring advisories in the digital history, a buyer should focus physical inspection on age-related issues common to the Micra of this era. Prioritize a check for structural integrity along the sills and rear wheel arches, as surface corrosion often develops silently before it becomes an MOT failure point. Examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as low-mileage does not prevent rubber components from hardening with age. Checking the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinning is also advisable given the vehicle has likely sat for extended periods.
