2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PN59 NCE

The 2009 Nissan Micra presents an exemplary maintenance trend, remaining entirely defect-free across its recorded MOT history. The most recent examination on 21 August 2025 at 41,742 miles passed without a single advisory or failure, indicating a highly stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. This unbroken string of clean certificates suggests a previous owner who consistently addressed wear items before they escalated into failures. The vehicle's annual mileage accumulation sits remarkably low at approximately 2,455 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 34,567 miles and the 2024 test at 39,828 miles, the car covered just over 5,200 miles across three years. However, the 2025 test recorded 41,742 miles, representing a jump of 1,914 miles in a single year. While this recent uptick is still modest by national standards, it confirms the vehicle is being used regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Despite the flawless MOT record, a low-mileage vehicle of this age requires a physical inspection focused on deterioration caused by time rather than use. Buyers must scrutinize the condition of perishable rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish and crack from standing still. Inspect brake calipers and discs for surface corrosion and binding, a frequent issue on cars that cover short distances. Underbody structural integrity demands a close look for corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframes, as the MOT only captures a snapshot of the vehicle's condition on test day.
