2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · NG56 AEA

The 2006 Nissan Micra failed its most recent MOT on 2025-12-05 at 115,238 miles, rendering it non‑roadworthy until the emissions and structural defects are remedied; the test record shows a deteriorating maintenance trend with repeated corrosion of macpherson struts, damage to shock absorber casings, and persistent exhaust leaks. Mileage has risen from 88,485 miles in 2020 to 115,238 miles in 2025, an average of roughly 5,700 miles per year, which is low for a 20‑year‑old vehicle and suggests periods of limited use; the incremental increase of about 4,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests is modest and does not indicate rapid wear accumulation. A buyer should focus on the suspension system, examining the corroded front macpherson struts, the condition of the rear shock absorber casings, and the integrity of suspension arms and bushings, all of which have been flagged repeatedly across multiple tests. The vehicle’s brake discs show pitting and wear, the tyres have consistently been recorded near or below the legal tread limit, and extensive underbody rust compromises structural integrity, so a thorough inspection of brakes, tyre condition, exhaust leaks, wheel bearing play, and rust‑affected chassis components is essential before purchase.
