2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · RE08 KXG

This Nissan Micra has maintained a clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 26 February 2026 at 92,015 miles resulting in a full pass without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues across all tests suggests the vehicle has been subject to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance—though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs. The final pass date is just five months old, placing the vehicle within the current MOT validity window, which provides a baseline of recent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. No advisory notes or minor faults have been recorded, indicating the tester did not identify any immediate concerns requiring attention. The recorded mileage of 92,015 miles over 18 years—approximately 5,112 miles per annum—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, which could imply either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps between tests, with the most extended interval being just under six months between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs (88,960 to 91,339 miles). The steady accumulation of mileage without abrupt jumps further supports the idea of regular, albeit modest, usage rather than aggressive driving. While low mileage can reduce wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes and drivetrain parts, it may also indicate deferred maintenance if the vehicle was stored for extended periods without servicing. Given the lack of recorded defects, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components that commonly fail or degrade over time without obvious warning signs. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of dry rot, perished rubber, or excessive play, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles that may have stood idle. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, warrant close examination for uneven wear, glazed linings, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored with the wheels off the ground. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, for corrosion that could compromise safety even if the MOT tester did not detect it. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter failure or leaks are not always visible during a basic MOT inspection.
