Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2004 Nissan Micra shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 4 February 2022 at 71,514 miles, though that same date also carries a failed entry with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with every recorded test either passing or failing without any advisories or recorded faults. The duplication of pass and fail on identical mileages in both 2021 and 2022 suggests administrative re-test anomalies rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage stands at 71,514 against a 22-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,251 miles per year. The record jumps from 57,967 miles on 15 July 2019 to 63,505 miles by 8 February 2021, then to 71,514 by February 2022. A near 18-month gap between the 2019 and 2021 tests implies the car sat idle or saw minimal use, a pattern consistent with low annual accumulation. No rapid mileage surges appear in the data, and the sparse clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and periods of likely standing. The tester recorded no brake disc wear, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions failures across the timeline, so mechanical risk from the MOT alone reads low. Verify the 2022 dual pass-fail outcome with DVSA to confirm the logbook status, and check tyre condition and wiper blades as routine consumables unaffected by the clean record.
