Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring su
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the suspension system. The MOT records show that all four coil springs have been noted for corrosion in every test since at least 2023. You should verify if these springs have actually been replaced or if the corrosion is merely being noted as an advisory.
Additionally, inspect the tyres carefully. The history shows a pattern of cuts and perishing, with a failure in 2024 due to a cut reaching the cords. Check the current tread depth and look for any sidewall damage. Finally, check the headlamp lenses; the records show repeated mentions of deterioration or defects, which can affect visibility and MOT compliance.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, typically falling into a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Maintenance costs for a Micra of this era are usually manageable, though frequent tyre replacements or suspension repairs may increase your annual expenditure.
Expect typical running costs to be influenced by your driving style and insurance profile. Given the age of the vehicle, you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres, which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's MOT history.
The most critical area to inspect is the underside of the car. The MOT history for this specific Micra shows a persistent issue with 'corroded coil springs' on both the nearside and offside, front and rear. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent suspension work to address these repeated advisories.
Secondly, examine the tyres and wheels. The vehicle has a history of MOT failures and advisories regarding tyre cuts and perishing. Look for uneven wear which could indicate the 'fluctuating service brakes' noted in the 2023 test. Lastly, check the clarity of the headlamp lenses, as 'deteriorated' lenses have been a recurring theme in recent years.
This 2007 Nissan Micra (MA57MWC) presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age, recorded at 41,473 miles. However, the MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of issues, most notably repeated corrosion on all four coil springs across multiple years. Recent tests also indicate recurring tyre damage and headlamp deterioration.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
