2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · MH08 ABX

This Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 70,667 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, indicating the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,926 miles per year. Between February 2023 and June 2025, the odometer moved only 3,327 miles. This suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short journeys. While the lack of wear on the drivetrain is a positive, low usage often masks issues related to perished rubber components or fluid degradation. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding advisories. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc pitting across the last five tests. The failure on 10 February 2023 was resolved within twenty four hours, though the record does not specify the fault. This absence of flagged wear items is atypical for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus on items that MOT testers often overlook during static tests. Check for tyre perishing or flat spots caused by long periods of standing. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing and the battery health, as low-mileage cars frequently suffer from electrical degradation. A physical check for structural rust on the sills and underbody is essential, as a clean MOT record does not always guarantee the absence of surface corrosion.
