2018 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · PJ68 DLX

The 2018 Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 35,998 miles. The maintenance trend is steady and free of advisories or defects across the full five-year MOT history. The May 2025 record shows a failed entry and a passed entry on the same date at identical mileage, with no defects logged against either; this suggests an administrative correction or a retest rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 23,050 miles in May 2022, rising to 28,077 by May 2023, 32,353 by May 2024, and 35,998 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles per year, confirming light use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear between tests; the odometer advanced smoothly and the low annual figure points to short local journeys or extended standing periods. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low mileage and likely static intervals. Standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when MOT testers record no advisories. The absence of flagged defects does not exempt the Micra from checks on exhaust emissions and underbody integrity. The same-day fail and pass in May 2025 with zero defects implies no owner neglect of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades across the record. Previous keepers maintained the Micra to a passable standard at each annual test. Given the clean history, the main risk lies in dormant wear from low usage rather than deferred repairs.
