2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · RE10 MMX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 June 2025 at 48,035 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of passes suggests that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep, avoiding the common mechanical failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between May 2021 and June 2022, where the car covered only 138 miles in a full year. Since 2022, the usage has increased more steadily, rising from 20,262 miles to 48,035 miles over the following three-year period. This low annual mileage generally implies minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also introduces risks associated with component degradation due to long periods of standing. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for perished rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers which can occur from age rather than distance. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often fails to clear the metal surface effectively. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for hidden rust, as oxidation affects metal regardless of how many miles the vehicle has driven.
