2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · MM62 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 with 54,210 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has repeatedly achieved passes without recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows failures in September 2024 and 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were minor issues rectified immediately rather than indicating chronic mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,170 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 51,331 miles and September 2025 at 54,210 miles, the car covered only 2,879 miles over a two-year period. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the seizing of mechanical parts, which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related wear despite low mileage. Given the clean MOT history, the priority should be checking corrosion on the underbody and the integrity of the suspension bushes, which can perish over a decade. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation. Additionally, ensure the tyres are checked for sidewall cracking, as rubber age becomes a factor even if the tread depth remains high.
