2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · RO08 FUP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on March 4, 2026 at 59,308 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean inspections in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 52,775 miles and February 2024 at 55,472 miles, the car covered only 2,697 miles. This low usage indicates short-distance travel which typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain. The recorded failure on February 21, 2024, at 55,472 miles followed immediately by a pass suggests a single minor issue that was rectified quickly without becoming a chronic problem. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long periods of standing rather than high mileage. Check rubber components such as suspension bushes, split boots, and sidewalls for dry rotting, as these age over time regardless of distance. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use often leads to brake caliper seizing. While the MOT record is clean, the chassis and sills require a close check for structural rust given the age age.
