2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SA64 MXE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistently clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection on 24 September 2025 at 32,287 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes across the last five years indicates that the primary mechanical components and structural integrity have remained in good condition without the recurring failures often seen in older urban cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 21,220 miles and the September 2025 test at 32,287 miles, the car covered only 11,067 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, though it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation of rubber and fluids rather than mechanical fatigue. While the MOT record is flawless, a buyer must focus on components prone to failure due to long periods of low use. A physical inspection should check for cracking or perish in suspension bushes, hoses, and tyre sidewalls which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. The tester should also verify that brake calipers are not seized and discs are free of pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust. Checking the chassis for early-stage corrosion is also necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying structural rot.
