2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · MJ09 OKF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2025 at 58,928 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical state remains compliant. This follows a period of consistent results, suggesting the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring MOT test failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,466 miles per year. Data shows a significant drop in usage between December 2020 and December 2021, where the car covered only 1,278 miles in a year. Since the 2022 test, usage has increased slightly, with 10,768 miles recorded over three years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber parts and seized brake components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure despite low mileage. The December 2020 test flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres as worn to the legal limit on the edges, which may indicate past alignment issues or uneven suspension wear. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and sills pans is essential, as low-mileage cars often hide surface rust. Additionally, inspect for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers, as these elements degrade through time regardless of the distance driven.
