2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · ND13 XMJ

The maintenance trend for this 2013 Nissan Micra is exceptionally stable, reflecting a vehicle that has required no mechanical or structural remediation. The most recent MOT test on 9 September 2025 at 70,853 miles passed with zero defects or advisories, continuing a flawless record spanning at least four years. Every recorded test since December 2021 has returned a completely clean bill of health, indicating consistent, defect-free operation without any recurring issues. The recorded mileage of 70,853 miles equates to a mere 5,450 miles per year, which is remarkably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The chronological data shows steady but minimal accumulation; the car covered roughly 6,100 miles between the December 2021 and January 2023 tests, dropping to approximately 3,600 miles over the following thirteen months. The recent tests in 2025 show even lower usage, with just 1,525 miles accumulated between January and September. Such low annual mileage suggests predominantly short, urban journeys or prolonged periods of inactivity, rather than sustained long-distance driving. Despite the pristine MOT record, the low-mileage profile demands a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from standing or short trips. A buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber perishes over time regardless of tread depth. Brake discs and pads must be checked for surface corrosion, a common issue when a vehicle sits unused, which can cause binding or juddering even if the friction material remains thick. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should be inspected for perishing, and fluid levels assessed for moisture absorption or degradation due to infrequent use. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the absence of corrosion advisories, verifying the condition of these perishable parts remains essential before purchase.
