2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LX09 OJR

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent April 2026 inspection at 38,165 miles. The 2024 March test at 37,005 miles recorded a failure, though no defects were listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-critical issue. Since 2023, the car has maintained compliance without advisories, indicating consistent maintenance practices. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record. The mileage of 38,165 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 2,245 annual miles, significantly below the UK average for this age group. The MOT history shows gradual accumulation, with 775 miles between the 2025 and 2024 tests, and 1,093 miles between 2023 and 2024. These increments suggest infrequent use, which may reduce wear on components like brakes and tyres but could also indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion or fluid degradation. The absence of mileage spikes or gaps implies steady, low-intensity operation. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without regular use. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a visual check for corrosion on brake discs and caliper binding is recommended. Structural integrity remains unmentioned in the record, so inspecting for rust in critical areas like sills and underbody panels is prudent. The car’s low mileage and clean MOT history suggest it has been well-maintained, but an independent inspection is advised to confirm the absence of hidden issues exacerbated by inactivity.
