2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · NJ63 AEB

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy profile with an improving maintenance trend following recent mechanical interventions. The most recent test conducted on April 2026 at 78,257 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed the issues identified in prior tests. While the history shows a pattern of failing just before passing, the clean sheet on the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum standards for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between April 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 7,045 miles, while it covered 8,591 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This steady rate of use suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to rubber degradation and brake seizing. The low annual mileage generally reduces the overall stress placed on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures in April 2024 and March 2025, as the record does not detail the mechanical components that failed. Given that these failures were immediately followed by passing results, they likely involved consumable items such as bulbs, tyres, or minor fluid leaks. However, the age of the Nissan Micra necessitates a physical inspection of structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches for corrosion. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and brake caliper seals to ensure that the recent clean passes have not masked developing underlying wear in the chassis.
