2006 Nissan Micra 1.4L Petrol · OV56 OMY

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025 at 86,280 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any mechanical issues identified by the tester were immediately rectified to meet minimum safety standards. The car has maintained a clean record of advisories over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,314 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the car covered only 4,754 miles, moving from 81,526 to 86,280 miles. This low usage frequency indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and oxidation of fluids, which are not always captured by the MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Nissan Micras are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. Despite the clean test history, the low usage suggests that suspension bushes and tyre boots may have perished or cracked due to age rather than mechanical wear. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often develop heavy rust that affects braking performance.
