Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 141,732, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing chain inspections, which are vital for this 1.2L petrol engine. Negotiate based on the fact that several MOT advisories have recurred, such as the offside front suspension arm pin or bush issue seen in both 2024 and 2025.
Ask the seller specifically about the recent replacement of tyres and wipers, as these were noted as defects or near-limit items in the 2024 and 2025 tests. Ensure that the 'discoloured' rear indicators mentioned in the October 2025 MOT have been addressed or are not causing visibility issues.
The 1240cc petrol engine is generally economical for city driving, though fuel costs will depend on your driving style and the car's maintenance state. As a 2006 model, it likely falls into a relatively low insurance group, making it affordable for newer drivers.
Maintenance costs for a Micra of this age often involve routine items like tyres and brake components, both of which have appeared in recent MOT records. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,300, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the suspension; the MOT history shows a recurring advisory for a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush in both 2024 and 2025. Test the car on uneven surfaces to listen for knocks or clunks that might indicate this wear has progressed beyond an advisory.
Check the condition of all tyres, specifically looking for uneven wear on the edges, as the 2024 and 2025 tests highlighted worn tyres on both the nearside rear and offside rear. Additionally, verify that the windscreen wipers clear the glass effectively and that the rear indicators are bright and clear, following the discolouration noted in the latest MOT.
This 2006 Nissan Micra has covered 141,732 miles since its first registration in March 2006, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,787 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear related to tyres, wipers, and suspension components. While it has passed its most recent test, the mileage and previous failure history suggest a vehicle that has been used heavily.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
