2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PE08 WDT

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 8 August 2025 at 99,441 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just six days prior at 99,425 miles, though the record shows no specific defects for that failure. The immediate re-test success and subsequent clean result suggest the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal safety requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old Micra, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between December 2021 and August 2025, the car covered 29,513 miles, indicating consistent but light-duty use. The gap of 12,320 miles between November 2023 and August 2025 shows a period of higher activity. This low annual mileage often reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components or seized brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and lower sills, as Micras of this era are prone to corrosion in the wheel arches and floor pans. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle suggests that suspension bushes and coil springs may be showing signs of perish cracking regardless of the mileage. Given the low usage, verify the condition of the tyres and the state of the brake discs to ensure they have not suffered from surface pitting during periods of inactivity.
