NG61 CFL MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Nissan Micra (NG61 CFL) between April 2024 and June 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 12 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 12 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Focus your enquiry on the repairs conducted between 2024 and 2025. You should request evidence of the replacement of the nearside front suspension arm and the anti-roll bar ball joint, as these were critical failure points in previous tests. Additionally, check if the offside rear coil spring, which was noted as corroded in April 2025, has since been replaced.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the overall wear of the suspension. Given the recurring tyre issues seen in the 2024 and 2025 records, ensure the current set has ample tread and no signs of perishing or uneven wear, which could indicate lingering alignment issues.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an economical choice for urban driving. It typically sits in a low insurance group and benefits from a relatively small engine displacement, keeping annual road tax costs manageable.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally modest, though the MOT history suggests a susceptibility to suspension wear. Expect an estimated annual running cost covering fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing to be in the region of £900-£1,200.
Carefully inspect the suspension system, particularly the front arms and ball joints. The MOT history specifically records a damaged nearside front suspension arm and an excessively worn anti-roll bar ball joint; ensure these have been replaced with quality parts rather than patched.
Check the tyres for the same patterns of wear seen in previous years, such as 'worn on edge' or 'cracking'. Given that tyre failures are a common trend for this specific vehicle and the wider Micra model aggregate data, a professional alignment check is recommended to ensure the suspension repairs have resolved the issue.
This white 2012 Nissan Micra has recorded 93,172 miles, placing it above the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history reveals failures in 2024 and 2025, specifically regarding suspension components and tyre condition, although the most recent test in June 2026 was passed without defects.
The Nissan Micra has an average MOT pass rate of 77%, with suspension arms and tyres identified as top failure reasons across the model range.
