2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PN59 NFL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 December 2025 at 73,114 miles. This pass followed a failure just two days prior at 73,110 miles, suggesting a minor defect was rectified immediately to ensure compliance. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes indicates that the vehicle currently maintains a high mechanical standard without obvious structural or recurring component failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, the car covered 3,473 miles, while the interval leading to the 2025 test saw 4,938 miles. While low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of inactivity associated with such figures can lead to degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and light corrosion on braking surfaces. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Micras of this era are prone to hidden rust regardless of low mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the inspector should check the condition of the suspension bushes and perished tyres, which often fail due to age rather than distance. Examining the brake discs for pitting or glazing is also necessary, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from seized calipers or surface oxidation during long standing periods.
