2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · NN02 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent pattern of deferred repairs regarding age-related components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 29,230 miles shows the car passed despite multiple advisories that have appeared consistently over several years. While the vehicle is passing its inspections, the recurring nature of the brake and suspension issues suggests that the previous owners have only addressed the minimum requirements to pass the MOT rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage de-registration is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, recording only 29,230 miles which represents an average of approximately 2,657 miles per year. This low usage explains the significant pitting and scoring on the brake discs and the corrosion on brake pipes. Between September 2023 at 22,151 miles and September 2024 at 26,605 miles, the car covered only 4,454 miles, which is insufficient to keep brake components clean or prevent environmental-related corrosion. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as both front suspension arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. The low-mileage nature of the car means rubber components are degrading due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Furthermore, the rear brake pipes show persistent corrosion that has been noted since 2023. These should be checked for structural integrity to ensure they are not at risk of sudden failure, especially given the binding rear service brake noted in the 2024 failure.
