2018 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · ND18 PRX

The Nissan Micra presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record through its most recent MOT on 20 June 2025 at 19,083 miles, where it passed with zero defects. Every recorded test since 2021 has returned the same outcome, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The maintenance trend is stable and unblemished, with no advisories or failures to suggest neglect or escalating wear. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,385 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 6,344 miles and the June 2025 test at 19,083 miles, the car covered 12,739 miles in twelve months, a sharp increase compared to the 427 miles added between June 2023 and June 2024. This pattern suggests a period of very light or possibly stationary use followed by a sudden increase in regular driving. A buyer should verify whether the vehicle stood unused for extended periods, as prolonged parking can cause flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, perished rubber hoses, and stale fuel issues that a standard MOT does not always detect. Despite the flawless test record, the mileage jump warrants a focused physical inspection. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or date codes that may predate the recent usage surge, and examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion consistent with a car that may been stationary. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for deterioration from age rather than mileage. The exhaust system, fuel lines, and rubber coolant hoses should also be assessed for perishing, as these degrade with time regardless of use. A test drive at varying speeds will reveal any binding brakes, suspension knocks, or steering irregularities that static checks might miss.
