2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · NA56 AEE

This 2006 Nissan Micra presents a remarkably clean MOT record. The most recent test in August 2025 at 65,764 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an immediate failure on the same day that also carried no defects. This anomaly suggests a clerical error or a very minor issue rectified instantly, rather than a genuine mechanical concern. The maintenance trend across all four tests from 2022 to 2025 is stable and positive, with no advisories or failures for structural, mechanical, or electrical items. The recorded mileage of 65,764 miles over roughly 20 years equates to approximately 3,300 miles per annum. This confirms light, likely urban use. The annual accumulation is consistent, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps between tests. The vehicle covered roughly 5,700 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, a slight increase over the average, but still within a normal pattern for a low-mileage car. The odometer reading has risen steadily, which supports the integrity of the recorded figure. Given the absence of any flagged defects, a buyer should focus their pre-purchase inspection on age-related deterioration that an MOT test may not fully capture. Check the condition of all suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and coil springs for corrosion or cracking, common on a vehicle of this age. Examine the brake discs and callipers for binding or lip wear. Inspect the underside and sills for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear axle mounting points and front subframe. A thorough check of the exhaust system for rust and the coolant for condition is also wise. The clean history is a strong positive, but a car of this vintage demands a careful physical inspection to confirm the body and mechanical components have aged as well as the paperwork suggests.
