2022 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · SJ22 VBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 19,909 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a significant mechanical failure in August 2025 was addressed immediately, resulting in a subsequent pass. The absence of defects in the most recent test indicates that the previously flagged issues were rectified and the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the August 2025 and February 2026 tests, the car covered 2,259 miles, suggesting consistent but short-distance usage. This low annual mileage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though infrequent use can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or flat-spotting if the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system to ensure the repairs made after the August 2025 failure were thorough. The 17,650 mile test flagged thin pads, pitted or scored discs, and excessive fluctuation. While the subsequent test passed, a physical inspection should confirm that new discs were fitted rather than just resurfaced, as fluctuation often indicates warped rotors or uneven wear. Additionally, check for any surface rust on the brake lines and calipers, which is common on low-mileage cars that are not driven daily.
