2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LS65 LKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward mechanical wear. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 91,458 miles, the report introduced several significant advisories that were not present in the previous year's clean record. The transition from a perfect pass in 2024 to a list of suspension and tyre issues in 2025 suggests the vehicle is entering a phase requiring proactive component replacement. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between the 77,456 miles recorded in September 2023 and 84,338 miles in September 2024, the car covered 6,882 miles, followed by another 7,120 miles in the subsequent year. This steady usage profile indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which likely accounts for the gradual degradation of rubber components and suspension bushes noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The September 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes as worn. Although these did not result in a failure, worn bushes often lead to poor steering response and accelerated uneven tyre wear if left addressed. The tester also noted a TPMS light, which requires a diagnostic check to determine if a sensor has failed or there is a slow leak. Immediate attention should also be paid to the front tyres and visibility components. The most recent record identifies a defective offside front wiper blade and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. Given that the nearside tyre was already close to the limit and showed signs of uneven edge wear, the buyer should verify the alignment settings to ensure the worn suspension bushes have not knocked the wheels out of spec.
