2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SF13 YCV

The Nissan Micra presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 64,994 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all DVSA safety and emissions standards. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults appearing across the recorded history. This is a clean record. The mileage pattern requires careful interpretation. The car has covered roughly 5,000 miles per year, which is low for a 2013 vehicle. However, the record shows an anomaly: a failed test on 19 February 2025 lists 80,450 miles, which is higher than the subsequent and preceding tests. This suggests a data entry error or a temporary spike in use, as the mileage drops to 61,151 miles on the same date for a passed test and continues a steady progression. The gap between the February 2024 test at 58,024 miles and the February 2025 test at 61,151 miles shows a consistent annual increase of approximately 3,100 miles, supporting the low-mileage narrative. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from deterioration due to long periods of inactivity, so check for perished tyre sidewalls, seized brake calipers, and corroded exhaust components. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these degrade with age regardless of mileage. Examine the underbody and sills for structural corrosion, a common issue on older Micras. The absence of advisories in the record is positive, but a test drive remains essential to identify any binding brakes, gearbox issues, or steering faults that may not manifest during a stationary MOT inspection.
