2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · NL57 OCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a lapsed MOT of over four years. The most recent test conducted in May 2022 at 125,678 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the car met minimum safety standards at that time. However, because the current date is July 2026, the vehicle is now significantly out of date and requires an immediate retest to determine its current mechanical condition and structural integrity. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between April 2020 at 114,327 miles and May 2022 at 125,678 miles, the car covered 11,351 miles over a two-year period. This steady rate of use typically limits wear on drivetrain components and suspension compared to high-mileage examples, but the lack of data since 2022 creates a blind spot regarding the current state of rubber components and fluid fluid degradation. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, as 19-year-old Micras are prone to rust in the sills and rear wheel arches. While the history shows no recurring advisories in the final tests, the buyer should check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes which often degrade during periods of low annual use. Given the failures recorded in 2021 and 2022 prior to the passes, it is essential to verify that whatever mechanical issues caused those initial failures were properly rectified rather than merely temporarily addressed.
