2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · PY09 HSN

The 2009 Nissan Micra presents a stable and highly favourable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 18 March 2026 at 37,513 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures during the most recent examination. This indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of recurring faults across the documented history suggests consistent, if minimal, upkeep rather than a pattern of neglect or escalating deterioration. The recorded mileage of 37,513 miles equates to an average annual usage of roughly 2,207 miles, which is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. Between the 2023 test at 34,045 miles and the 2026 test at 37,513 miles, the car covered just 3,468 miles over three years. A notable anomaly appears in the 2024 record, where the vehicle failed a test on 15 March at 35,058 miles before passing a retest at the exact same mileage later that day; despite the failure status, no defects were recorded for either entry. Mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, with yearly increments hovering around 1,000 to 1,300 miles, ruling out sudden high-mileage use or odometer discrepancies. Despite the pristine MOT record, the low annual mileage demands a focused physical inspection of components vulnerable to age rather than use. Buyers should closely examine the condition of rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish and crack from prolonged standing rather than wear. Brake calipers and discs may exhibit surface corrosion or binding from infrequent driving, even if they passed the recent roller test. The exhaust system and underbody require scrutiny for corrosion, as short trips prevent moisture evaporation and accelerate rust formation in box sections and mounting points.
