2011 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · MW60 AEM

The 2011 Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 36,073 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the prior four years. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 36,073 miles against a 15-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,405 miles per year. The DVSA data charts light use: 29,220 miles at the January 2023 test, 32,305 miles at the January 2024 pass, 34,140 miles in January 2025, and 36,073 miles in January 2026. A failed test on 19 January 2024 at 32,304 miles shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a fault-driven failure. The clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Low annual mileage and a standing-prone lifestyle raise the risk of perished rubber components and corrosion unseen by the tester. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, brake calipers for binding after idle periods, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The exhaust system and brake discs warrant checks for moisture-related degradation. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the MOT trail, so the Micra demands only standard pre-purchase scrutiny. Verify the January 2024 failure cause with the test station, and commission a independent inspection of tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition given the light-use profile.
