2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · TF07 KFX

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a worsening maintenance trend characterized by an increase in both consumable and mechanical failures. While the most recent test on 24 December 2025 at 70,015 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed just six days prior on 18 December 2025 at 69,896 miles. This failure involved significant issues including a fractured nearside front coil spring, an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush, and multiple defective wiper blades and tyres. Although the immediate mechanical failures were rectified for the pass, the recurrence of worn tyres and suspension component issues suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile shows a vehicle that has covered 70,015 miles over approximately 19 years, averaging roughly 3,685 miles per year. This low annual usage is consistent with the recorded data, showing steady but infrequent movement. For example, the mileage increased from 50,285 in December 2022 to 57,878 in December 2023, and then to 64,668 in December 2024. While the low mileage might suggest less mechanical wear, the history of perished tyres and fractured springs often accompanies vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows recurring issues with suspension bushes and coil springs, specifically noted in 2016, 2019, 2023, and 2025. The tester also flagged fluctuating service brakes in December 2022, so the condition of the brake discs and calipers requires close scrutiny. Given the age and low usage, checking for rubber perishability in suspension bushings and tyre sidewalls is essential, as the record shows a history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or being defective. Finally, the electrical and lighting systems require verification. The vehicle has a history of failed reverse lamps, stop lamps, and headlamps across several test years. While these are relatively simple fixes, the frequency of these minor failures, alongside the 2022 advisory regarding a supplementary restraint system warning lamp, suggests that the electrical integrity of the vehicle may be inconsistent. A buyer should ensure all warning lights are extinguished and that all exterior lighting functions correctly before purchase.
