2011 Nissan Micra Visia CVT 1.2L Petrol · ME09 BOS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 114,976 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite an anomalous failure recorded in September 2025 just 110 miles prior to the successful pass. Since no specific defects were listed for that September failure, it likely represents an administrative error or a sensor-related issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a sign of systemic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,665 miles per annum. A significant gap of 17,659 miles is noted between August 2022 (83,386 miles) and December 2023 (101,045 miles), suggesting a period of lower usage. However, the vehicle has seen more frequent activity recently, covering 13,931 miles between December 2023 and October 2025. This recent surge in mileage places standard demand on the CVT drivetrain components, but the total figures remain within the expected range for a car of this age. Because the MOT history lacks recurring advisories or historical faults, a physical inspection must focus on age-related wear that the test does not capture. A buyer should inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for Micras of this era. Given the mileage and age, checking the CVT transmission for smooth shifting and slippage is essential. Additionally, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines will ensure that the recent increase in mileage has not accelerated the degradation of these rubber components.
