2020 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · NU20 CWF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in September 2025 at 27,859 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a reactive period in the previous year. While the September 2025 test failed due to a fractured offside front coil spring, the immediate retest just two days later indicates that the owner addressed this safety-critical failure promptly to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a jump of 7,447 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,499 miles recorded before the 2025 inspection. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, the infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the 2024 MOT advisories. A buyer should inspect the vehicle specifically for signs of tyre rot and neglect despite the low mileage. The September 2024 test flagged the nearside rear tyre for cracking, perishing, and being on the legal limit, which often occurs when a car sits for long periods. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as worn in 2024; while not excessively worn at that time, the buyer should check for surface corrosion or uneven wear caused by low-frequency use. Given the suspension failure in 2025, a physical check of the remaining coil springs and bushes is advisable to ensure no further structural fatigue has developed.
