Our Verdict
This 2010 Nissan Micra presents significant risks due to high mileage and recurring MOT issues, despite its low price. Careful inspection is essential before purchase.
Prioritize a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on the exhaust system and headlamp alignment. Verify if windscreen damage has been repaired, as partial failures may indicate neglect. Negotiate aggressively given the high mileage and recurring issues. Check for service records to confirm maintenance consistency, though the lack of aggregate data limits reliability predictions.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers average fuel economy of 45-50 mpg, resulting in £800-£1,000 annual fuel costs at 8,000 miles. Road tax for 2010 models is £140 annually. Insurance groups for this era typically range 12-15, costing £600-£800 yearly. Major repairs (exhaust, lighting systems) could add £300-£500 annually, pushing total estimated costs to £1,700-£2,300.
Focus on the offside front headlamp alignment and rear exhaust corrosion noted in MOTs. Check for water ingress in the cabin and check the windscreen for un-repaired damage. Inspect suspension components for wear from high mileage. Verify that all lighting systems function correctly and examine the body for rust around the wheel arches and sills.
The 2010 Nissan Micra has accumulated 150,659 miles (34,195 miles above the 2020 average for its age) with a mixed MOT history. While most tests passed, it shows recurring windscreen damage, headlamp alignment issues, and exhaust corrosion. No model-wide reliability data is available to contextualize these findings.
No aggregate MOT data available for Nissan Micra models to assess general reliability trends.
