2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · RO15 OMT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 78,858 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple critical defects. The transition from thin brake pads in 2025 to fully worn pads and scored discs in 2026 suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 78,858 miles over 11 years, the Micra averages approximately 7,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage patterns. There is a significant gap in recorded data between the August 2023 test at 58,527 miles and the May 2025 test at 74,041 miles. During this period, the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles. However, the rapid accumulation of nearly 5,000 miles in the final year of the record indicates a recent increase in use that has accelerated the wear on the braking and suspension components. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry and braking assembly. The record consistently flags worn nearside front suspension arm bushes between 2023 and 2026, alongside an offside front ball joint that finally failed inspection in June 2026. The light misting on the nearside front shock absorber indicates a failing seal that will likely require replacement soon. Furthermore, the corrosion on both rear coil springs requires a physical check to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised, as rust is a common point of failure on vehicles of this age.
