2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · SL58 KCN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 26 January 2026 at 97,850 miles. This result followed a failure just ten days prior at 97,844 miles, though the record indicates no specific recorded defects for that failure, suggesting an administrative error or a minor testing discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. The consistent clean passes indicate that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity over the last several years. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 97,850 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,436 miles. This is significantly below the national average for cars. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between December 2023 and January 2025, and another 3,750 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure rather than high-mileage wear. Given the low usage, inspect the condition of suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. Check the brake system for corrosion or seized calipers, common issues in aged vehicles that run infrequently. Examine the chassis for structural rust around the sills and wheel arches, as these are the primary concerns for a Micra of this era regardless of mileage driven.
