2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PJ57 YGD

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test of 2025-11-12 at 23,243 miles, which failed on two separate occasions involving coil spring corrosion and direction indicator issues. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity since the 2023-11-09 test, which passed at 19,112 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening, with a significant gap in performance between the 2023-11-09 and 2024-11-14 tests where the car failed again after passing on the same date, confirming that the mechanical condition has deteriorated since the 2022-11-10 test. The mileage accumulation is substantially higher than expected for a 2007 Nissan Micra, which typically requires approximately 1,200–1,500 miles annually. The 23,243 miles recorded for the 2025-11-12 test represent roughly 1,223 miles per year, which is consistent with a vehicle that has been driving for about 19 years. While the vehicle has low mileage relative to its age, this pattern suggests that the owner has not taken proactive measures to address wear on suspension components, brake discs, or drivetrain parts, leading to accelerated failure of these critical elements over the intervening years. To determine the current roadworthiness, the buyer must inspect for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the coil springs, wheel bearings, and brake systems. The coil springs have been flagged as corroded on both sides of the rear suspension, which is a serious structural risk that could lead to loss of suspension support and steering stability. The wheel bearings have been reported as slightly noisy on both sides, a symptom that often indicates excessive wear or binding calipers. The brake discs have not been tested, but the failure of the direction indicators suggests that the brake system may be compromised or in poor condition, requiring immediate professional assessment to prevent further damage to the steering column or suspension linkage.
