2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · ST57 UBM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on January 15 2026 at 136,251 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of instability. While the car failed tests in late 2024 and early 2025, the clean pass in the most recent inspection indicates that the underlying mechanical or safety issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum standard for operation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the November 2023 test at 115,662 miles and the January 2025 test at 127,845 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles in fourteen months. The more recent interval of 8,406 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 shows a return to typical usage levels. This consistent movement often helps prevent the corrosion of seals and components associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the two failures in November 2024 and January 2025. Since the record does not list the specific defect codes for those failures, it is vital to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, exhaust mounting points, and braking system. Given the age of this Nissan Micra, a close look for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure that the repairs made to pass the latest test were not temporary fixes against advancing rust.
