1999 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · T695 CWL

The Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 June 2022 at 85,978 miles where the tester passed it clean. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared every successful examination without advisories, and the only failures recorded were administrative in nature rather than mechanical. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults across the observed period. The odometer sat at 75,386 miles on 11 June 2019 when the car first failed on paperwork, then passed three days later at 75,400 miles. By 26 February 2021 it reached 79,477 miles, failing and passing on the same day with no defects logged. The final entry shows 85,978 miles on 8 June 2022. Over roughly three years the car covered only 10,592 miles, averaging well below typical use for a 1999 vehicle. The sparse, clean history and low annual accumulation suggest light running, though the four-year gap since the last test means current condition is unverified by DVSA data. A buyer should commission an independent inspection before purchase given the elapsed time since the 2022 test. The Micra is now 27 years old and standing periods between the recorded low-mileage years raise the risk of perished rubber components, seized suspension bushes, and corrosion to structural members such as sills and subframes. The brake calipers and discs may have suffered from binding or pitting through disuse. Although the MOT file shows no advisories on exhaust emissions, tyres, or wipers, the absence of recent testing means consumable wear cannot be assumed minimal. Verify the chassis number against the record, confirm the cambelt history, and check for moisture ingress in the cabin and engine bay before committing funds.
