Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
When inspecting this 1.4L petrol model, focus on the braking system to ensure the 2024 ABS and electronic braking faults were permanently resolved. Check the service history for evidence of brake fluid changes and general maintenance, as the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with components that perish rather than wear out.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres, noting the 2025 advisory for a worn offside front tyre. Ensure that any subsequent replacements are of a reputable brand and have sufficient tread depth.
The 1386cc engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for city driving. As a 2008 model, it falls into a standard petrol tax bracket, and its insurance group is generally low, making it an affordable option for urban commuting.
Annual maintenance costs for the Micra are typically modest, though older vehicles may require more frequent attention to suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and insurance, are likely to be moderate for a vehicle of this age.
Specifically check the ABS warning lights and brake pedal feel, referencing the failure recorded in March 2024. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as a worn offside front tyre was noted in the 2025 MOT, and check for any signs of suspension arm wear, which is a common failure point for this model across the wider dataset.
Given the vehicle's age, inspect the silver paintwork for clear-coat failure and check all headlamps for clarity and function, as headlamp issues are frequently cited in aggregate MOT data for the Micra.
This silver 2008 Nissan Micra has recorded 62,781 miles, which is below the model average. The MOT history shows a generally consistent pass rate, with one failure in March 2024 regarding the ABS and electronic braking systems. More recently, the vehicle passed its March 2026 test with no defects recorded.
The Nissan Micra has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 77%, though suspension arms and headlamps are common failure points.
