2005 Nissan Micra 1.4L Petrol · SH55 AHV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 11 September 2025 at 78,209 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed inspections despite occasional minor setbacks. While the record shows two failures in late 2023 and 2025, the fact that the vehicle passed just days after its most recent failure suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate defects rather than allowing the vehicle to suffer from mechanical neglect. At 21 years of age, the recorded mileage of 78,209 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 3,724 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 904 miles covered between the August 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,073 miles covered in the final year. This low level of mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and potential fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion that does not always trigger an immediate failure. Because the history shows no recorded advisories in recent years, a physical check for rust on the suspension mounts and perished brake hoses is essential. Given the recent failures followed immediately by clean passes, verifying the brake system for binding calipers and checking suspension bushes will ensure that the issues rectified in 2025 remain resolved.
