2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SC63 XOE

This Nissan Micra presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 27 May 2026 at 65,250 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has demonstrably moved from a pattern of recurring minor advisories to a fully compliant state, suggesting recent attention to front suspension components and tyre condition. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2014 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,438 miles per year. The record shows a gap of roughly 10,692 miles between the June 2023 test at 36,367 miles and the May 2024 test at 46,065 miles, followed by a further 8,493 miles to the May 2025 test at 54,558 miles. Accumulation has since slowed, with only 10,692 miles added over the most recent twelve-month interval, indicating either lighter use or shorter journeys in recent years. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of front lower suspension arm pin or bush wear, flagged as an advisory in both the May 2024 failure and the May 2025 pass, yet absent from the 2026 certificate. This implies the front suspension bushes were likely replaced or repaired between mid-2025 and early 2026. Buyers should still inspect the front lower suspension arms, subframe mounting points, and rack ends for play or corrosion, as these components endure constant stress on a city car. The 2024 failure for both rear tyres exhibiting structural lumps, combined with the 2025 advisory for worn front tyre edges, points to a previous period of neglected tyre maintenance. A thorough check of all four tyre sidewalls, date codes, and uneven wear patterns remains prudent, alongside an inspection of rear suspension bushes and shock absorber condition given the history of rear tyre structural failure.
