Our Verdict
This Nissan Micra is a sensible choice for those seeking a low-complexity petrol runabout. Given its recent clean MOT history, it presents a lower immediate risk than many similar-aged vehicles.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L Micra, focus on the mechanical components that frequently cause issues for this model across the UK, such as suspension arms and tyre wear. Although this vehicle has passed its last two tests without defects, you should still verify that all consumables are in good order.
Ask the seller for any service records that complement the MOT history. Since the mileage is relatively high for a 2006 vehicle, check for evidence of regular oil changes and belt replacements. Negotiate based on the upcoming MOT requirement, as the last recorded test was in early 2024.
The 1240cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving. Tax and insurance groups for a 2006 Micra are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers or those on a budget.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for common replacement items like tyres and suspension components. The estimated annual running cost is relatively modest compared to larger hatchbacks.
Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension arms and the condition of the tyres, as these are top reasons for MOT failures in the Micra range.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, as headlamp issues are a common failure point for this vehicle type. Given the silver paintwork, check for any signs of corrosion or significant bodywork repairs that may not be captured in an MOT record.
This 2006 silver Nissan Micra with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 105,473 miles as of its last MOT in January 2024. The vehicle shows a consistent record of passing its MOT tests in both 2023 and 2024 without any recorded defects. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 4,780 per year, the lack of recent failures is a notable factor.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, suspension, and headlamps.
