2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PX06 YGC

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 with 75,882 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a specific mechanical failure in early 2025. While the car previously failed on a rough offside rear wheel bearing, the subsequent pass and the latest clean sheet indicate that this fault was addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 7,097 miles, showing a consistent pattern of low-distance use over three years. This low usage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it often increases the risk of age-related issues such as rubber perish in suspension bushes or the degradation of brake components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension assembly, as these have previously appeared as points of concern. The March 2023 test flagged thin front brake pads and pitted discs, suggesting that while the vehicle is low mileage, consumables are reaching their age-and-wear limits. The 2025 wheel bearing failure necessitates a manual check of all remaining wheel bearings for any play or audible noise. Given the age of the Micra, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as low mileage does not protect the chassis from oxidation over two decades.
