AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Nissan Micra is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 81,503 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 23 March 2026 and 4 April 2024, these failures were resolved within 24 hours, suggesting the owner addressed minor issues immediately to ensure compliance. The vehicle has covered 81,503 miles over 15 years, averaging roughly 5,434 miles per year. This is low for the age of the car. There was a notable increase in usage between 12 March 2025 and 24 March 2026, where the mileage rose from 70,012 to 81,503. This indicates a recent shift toward more frequent use after several years of lighter activity. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last three years. This lack of flagged defects is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage and suggests either a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often perish during periods of low use. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre cracking, and potential brake caliper seizing, as these issues may not always trigger an MOT failure if the car is driven sparingly. Verifying the service history for oil changes is essential to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low annual mileage.
