2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · MK08 WOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on January 22 2026 at 70,254 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date with no recorded defects, the subsequent pass without advisories suggests an administrative error or a minor rectification that was immediately addressed. The maintenance trend remains clean, as the car has secured consecutive passes without recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last three testing cycles. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,254 miles represents a low average of approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 4,815 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 2,457 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids due to time elapsed rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion in sills and wheel arches. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishation, which can occur during long periods of stationary use. Given the clean history, verify that the brake calipers are free from signs of seizing or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust on the discs and uneven braking despite a clean MOT pass.
