2018 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · NX68 RFO

The 2018 Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 17 September 2025 at 34,522 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the five-year MOT span. The most recent test cleared the car with no defects, following a failed attempt two days earlier at 34,502 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical failure. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The records show 23,723 miles in September 2022, rising to 27,550 by September 2023, 31,271 by September 2024, and 34,522 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles per year, well below the national average. Such light use suggests the car spent long periods standing, which can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs and suspension components even when the MOT shows clean. The DVSA history flags no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity at any test. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for surface rust on brake discs from inactivity and check that the 15 September 2025 failure with zero defects was not a withdrawn or mislogged test. Verify the bodywork and underseal given the low mileage and likely outdoor storage. Given the sparse, clean record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The two-day gap between failure and pass in September 2025 warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason code. Otherwise the Micra reads as a low-risk used purchase from a mechanical evidence standpoint.
