2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · LX60 WFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 139,869 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure that revealed multiple mechanical and electrical faults. This trend shows a fluctuating pattern where the vehicle consistently presents items requiring immediate attention once rectified. The presence of a persistent front oil leak and windscreen issues suggests the owner only addresses defects when strictly necessary to pass the annual test. At 139,869 miles over 16 years, the Micra averages approximately 8,742 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 3,770 miles between November 2024 and 2025. This steady mileage suggests the engine and suspension components have been subjected to regular wear and tear rather than suffering from long periods of stagnation. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the November 2025 failure flagged excessive play in the nearside front inner track rod end. While this was reportedly repaired, the buyer should check the remaining track rod ends and steering bushes for similar signs of degradation. The recurring front oil leak noted in the latest test requires a close look to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant seal failure that could lead to future issues. Additionally, the history of an SRS warning lamp in 2024 should be verified to ensure the airbag system remains functional and has not been cleared improperly.
