2019 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · MM69 FFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on November 28, 2025, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test initially failed earlier on that same day due to ineffective windscreen wipers and a binding offside front service brake. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the presence of these faults suggests that minor mechanical and visibility components are only addressed when the annual inspection fails. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. With only 13,317 miles recorded by late 2025, the car has clearly spent long periods stationary. This pattern of low usage often means less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it introduces risks related to age and materials. The 2022 test at 5,269 miles correctly flagged perishing and cracking on all four tyres, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber degrades over time rather than through friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front brake assembly to ensure the binding issue noted in November 2025 is fully resolved and has not caused uneven wear on the disc or caliper. The suspension also warrants attention, as the worn arm bush identified in December 2024 at 7,916 miles indicates that rubber components are beginning to degrade despite the low mileage. Given the history of perished tyres and failing wipers, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls and the wiper blade condition is essential to ensure the vehicle is safe for immediate use without further expenditure.
