2020 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · RO70 VDD

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in good standing, as evidenced by the two consecutive passing tests in September 2025 and September 2024, both of which were completed at 35,101 and 28,492 miles respectively. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of instability: the vehicle failed twice on the front and rear tyres, with the first failure occurring at 21,512 miles, indicating that basic upkeep was likely skipped between the two assessments. This recurring failure suggests that the tyre wear is not merely a result of normal driving conditions but rather a consequence of a lack of regular maintenance or overtaking, which can be a significant risk for the vehicle's longevity. Mileage accumulation appears to be the primary driver of these performance issues. The vehicle has maintained approximately 5,850 miles per year, which is a very low ratio for a 2020 Nissan Micra, implying that the owner has been driving the car for a very short duration. While the low mileage might suggest lighter use, it does not account for the rapid mileage increase required to cause the tyre failure. The gap between the September 2025 test and the September 2024 test is particularly concerning, as the vehicle has only experienced one failure in a period of one year, whereas the September 2023 test showed a failure on the rear tyres. This sudden shift in performance between 2023 and 2024 suggests that the vehicle may have been driven for less than a year in 2023, or that the owner has been driving the car for a very short time since the previous test. In conclusion, the vehicle's mechanical condition is precarious due to the history of tyre failure and a lack of maintenance despite low mileage. The owner should inspect the tyres and suspension components immediately, as the repeated failure on the rear tyres at 21,512 miles indicates a risk of imminent failure if no corrective action is taken. Given the vehicle's age and the rapid mileage increase, it is advisable to have the tyres replaced and the suspension checked before the next MOT, as the vehicle is currently in poor condition and requires immediate attention to prevent further damage to the drivetrain.
