2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PX16 SVR

This Nissan Micra presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 2 May 2025 at 79,529 miles passing without any defects. The consistency extends back through the 2024, 2023, and 2022 tests—each conducted within days of the annual anniversary—all of which also passed with no advisories or failures. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been well maintained under routine inspection, though the near-three-year gap since the last test (now over 14 months past due) raises questions about whether the current owner has kept up with post-MOT servicing. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,953 miles per year. The recorded figures—40,675 miles in May 2022, 55,841 in May 2023, 66,816 in April 2024, and 79,529 in May 2025—show steady but unremarkable progression, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern implies regular, moderate use rather than heavy commuting or neglect, though the lack of service interval data means oil changes, brake fluid renewal, or suspension checks cannot be verified. Given the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly focusing on components not covered by the test. The suspension—including coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be checked for wear or corrosion, as should the brake system for binding calipers, uneven disc thickness, or fluid leaks. The exhaust system may benefit from a closer look for rust or loose mounts, especially given the vehicle’s age, while the underbody should be inspected for structural corrosion near wheel arches or sills. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, even if not flagged in the MOT, as this reflects ongoing maintenance habits.
