2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · LS02 BNU

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 24,690 miles. This latest result shows no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has consistently returned with passing results without advisories over the last three annual cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,029 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2026, the car covered only 1,540 miles, suggesting a pattern of very short-distance trips or long periods of storage. This low usage typically minimizes wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often increases the risks associated with vehicle imm, such as rubber degradation and fluid breakdown, which can occur regardless of the low mileage recorded. The single recorded failure on 30 May 2025 at 24,159 miles involved a split nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. While this was repaired to allow the subsequent pass, a buyer should personally inspect the boots for any new cracking or grease leakage to ensure the rubber has not perished. Given the age of the Nissan and low mileage, a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically for corrosion on sills and suspension arches, is essential as these are common points of failure for this model when left stationary for long periods.
