2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · NG10 BXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the most recent test on 2026-01-07 passed at 71,942 miles with no structural defects, whereas the previous test on 2025-01-20 failed at 67,565 miles due to exhaust leaks and structural issues. This suggests the owner has successfully addressed recent wear, although the gap between the two tests implies a potential lack of proactive upkeep on consumables like tyres and wipers. The mileage trajectory is stable relative to age, with the 2010 Nissan Micra being approximately 16 years old with 71,942 recorded miles (roughly 4,496 miles per year). While this low mileage is often associated with lighter use or long standing, it is also consistent with a vehicle that has maintained its mechanical integrity since the first MOT on 2026-01-07. The absence of gaps between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the vehicle has been serviced or maintained in a way that preserves its structural integrity, despite the recurring faults recorded in 2025. A buyer should inspect the suspension and brakes in person, as the MOT history flags significant issues including binding brakes on both sides, an imbalanced axle, and excessive wear on the rear bush. Given the poor performance of the brakes and the structural integrity concerns, a physical examination is required to rule out corrosion or binding calipers that have worsened since the 2025-01-20 test, ensuring that the vehicle will not fail under normal driving conditions.
