2009 Nissan Micra 1.5L Diesel · NA09 PUV

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection in April 2026 at 136,680 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and environmental standards. While a failure occurred in April 2025, the vehicle was rectified and passed again just two days later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical requirements when flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 129,597 miles and April 2026 at 136,680 miles, the car covered 7,083 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage profile. This level of mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though the age of the vehicle introduces risks related to material degradation and corrosion. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent clean tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this generation of Micra that MOT tests do not always capture. You should check the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for hidden rust, which often develops on older vehicles. Additionally, inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorber mounts, as rubber components can perish over time regardless of the relatively low annual mileage.
