2011 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · RO11 LRZ

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 57,856 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from multiple advisories and failures to a clean pass record suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults before they result in further failures. At approximately 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,856 miles is significantly low, averaging only about 3,857 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with intervals of roughly 4,000 to 4,600 miles between the annual tests since 2022. This low-frequency usage typically reduces the likelihood of mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids due to long periods of standing stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension, given the history of recurring issues. The December 2022 test at 45,657 miles flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, while the December 2024 test at 53,256 miles noted thin front pads again. While these are standard consumables, the frequency suggests the brakes should be checked for binding calipers or uneven wear. Additionally, the offside front lower suspension arm bush noted in late 2022 warrants a physical inspection to ensure no further play has developed in the steering geometry despite the low mileage. The tyres also require a thorough check for age damage. The 2024 test identified cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber dries out over time despite having sufficient tread depth. An in-person inspection should verify the current sidewalls for deep cracking and ensure the tyres are not reaching the end of their structural life. Beyond these points, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or serious emission failures.
