2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SL57 XUV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the onset of age-related component degradation. The most recent test in August 2025 at 69,555 miles identified significant wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins and bushes. While the car passed despite these defects, they indicate that the rubber components in the front suspension are beginning to fail, marking a progression from the clean record seen in 2024. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,660 miles per year. The data shows consistent, minimal usage, with only 4,517 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 3,846 miles in the preceding year. This low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but low-mileage cars often suffer from accelerated drying of rubber parts and seizing of braking components due to periods of standing rather than high miles on the clock. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry. The fractured nearside coil spring recorded in August 2024 at 65,038 miles suggests the suspension components were already under stress, and the subsequent report of worn arm bushes indicates that the front end is now requiring attention. Check for any excessive play in the wishbones and ensure the bushes are not perished perished or cracked. Given the age of the Micra, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and brake lines, which are common issues for low-mileage vehicles of this era.
