2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SL57 PWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a concerning worsening trend regarding its structural integrity and suspension components. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 86,448 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for exhaust emissions. The transition from minor mechanical wear to significant corrosion on the rear axle and strut towers indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage of age-related degradation. At 86,448 miles over 19 years, the wayra has an exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,550 miles per year. However, there is a notable gap of nearly 20,000 miles covered between May 2024 and July 2025. This period, combined with the low overall average, suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods sitting stationary, which often correlates with the accelerated decay of rubber components and the development of surface rust noted in the recent records. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and lower suspension area. The most recent report flags heavy corrosion on the rear axle and both front crucial towers, which are critical structural points that can lead to expensive major repairs. Furthermore, the history shows recurring issues with suspension arms, bushes, and shock report, suggesting the entire damping system is nearing the end of its functional life. The braking system also requires attention, as records consistently show pitted front discs and fluctuating service brakes across multiple years. While the engine oil leak has been noted as not excessive since 2023, it should be monitored to ensure it does not worsens. Given the structural rust identified in the most recent test, the vehicle represents a higher risk for long-term investment than its low mileage might initially indicate.
