2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SL08 LME

The 2008 Nissan Micra's MOT history shows a stable maintenance trend, with all tests passing and no defects recorded. The most recent test, conducted on 8 July 2025 at 49,865 miles, confirmed the vehicle's roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or major defects suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the two failed tests at the same mileage (49,865 and 49,187 miles) are unusual and warrant further investigation. The 2023 test at 47,834 miles passed without issue, indicating a possible resolution or oversight in the subsequent tests. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually low for its age, averaging just 2,770 miles per year. This suggests either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most recent test at 49,865 miles, just 688 miles since the 2024 test, implies the car has been parked for an extended period. The 2024 test at 49,187 miles, 647 miles since the 2023 test, further supports this theory. The sparse test data, with only three tests in three years, makes it difficult to assess long-term wear patterns accurately. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components, as the low mileage and potential long parking periods could have affected bushings, ball joints, and coil springs. The brakes should also be thoroughly checked, as the two failed tests at the same mileage suggest a possible recurring issue, such as binding calipers or worn brake discs. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive wear, as the low mileage and potential long parking periods could have contributed to these issues. Finally, the tyres should be checked for even wear and tread depth, as the low mileage and potential long parking periods could have affected their condition.
