2005 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LT55 ACZ

The 2005 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 84,205 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the June 2024 cycle showed a clean pass on 19 June 2024 at 80,795 miles, though the same date also logs a failed attempt with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has cleared every valid examination since 17 March 2022 without advisories. At roughly 21 years old the Micra shows 84,205 recorded miles, an average of about 4,010 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods off the road. The record confirms this gentle accumulation: only 5,009 miles were added between the June 2023 test at 75,196 miles and the June 2024 test at 80,795 miles, and just 3,410 miles in the year to July 2025. A sparse but clean history gives no sign of rapid wear on drivetrain or consumables, though the 15-month gap between the March 2022 pass at 74,401 miles and the June 2023 test hints at limited regular use. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes, as a low-mileage 2005 shell can hide moisture-driven rust in sills and subframes despite a defect-free MOT trail. The absence of any brake, coil spring, or exhaust emission advisories across five years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but standing time risks seized calipers and flat-spotted tyres unseen by the tester. Verify the June 2024 fail-with-no-defect entry against DVSA records before purchase to rule out a data error.
