2006 Nissan Micra 1.6L Petrol · SU06 AFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 52,126 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the car is mechanically sound according to the statutory inspection criteria. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,606 miles per year. Between 8 December 2023 and 11 December 2024, the car covered 5,318 miles. The usage remained low into late 2025, adding only 6,991 miles over the following year. Such low annual mileage often suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to specific degradation not always captured in a standard MOT. A buyer should focus on components that perish regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls often crack or harden when a car is underused. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and brake lines, as low-mileage city cars frequently suffer from rust due to short trips and salt exposure. Inspect the braking system for signs of seizing or binding calipers, a common issue for vehicles that sit for long periods. While the MOT record shows no defects, the failures on 5 December 2023 and 26 November 2025 were resolved quickly, though the record lacks specific detail on what caused those initial failures. Verify the condition of the oil and coolant to ensure the vehicle has been serviced regularly despite the low odometer reading.
