2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SC09 FNP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on August 23 2024 with 48,887 miles and no recorded defects. This pass followed an unexpected failure just one day prior at the same mileage, which suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate test failures to maintain legal compliance. The lack of advisories across the last three passes indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently remain within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,876 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the car covered only 6,796 miles, moving from 42,091 to 48,887. While this low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk associated with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts. The consistency of annual testing suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left to sit for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from time rather than high mileage. Because the record does not show specific recurring advisories, the tester must manually check for perished suspension bushes, cracked brake hoses, and seized calipers which are common on low-use cars. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to uneven rust buildup. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden structural rot resulting from the vehicle's age.
