2000 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · W662 AOF

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a sequence of clean passes culminating in the most recent test on 2026-06-01. The testing history shows a stable trend over the last five years, with the only recorded defect being a minor advisory regarding a shock absorber in 2022. The recorded mileage of 66,968 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,576 miles per year over its 26-year lifespan. This usage pattern suggests that the engine and drivetrain have experienced relatively low mechanical wear compared to typical vehicles of this era, although such low annual accumulation often indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary. Attention should be directed toward the offside front suspension, specifically the shock absorber which was noted for light oil misting in May 2022. While subsequent tests have not flagged this as a defect, a physical inspection of the strut for active leaks or weeping is advisable. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces and observe if the front end exhibits excessive bouncing after hitting a bump. Given the age of the vehicle, the absence of structural corrosion or brake line failures in the recent MOT history is a positive indicator of current roadworthiness. A prospective buyer should still verify the condition of the underbody and suspension mounting points for any surface rust that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT failure. Ensure the steering feels weighted and precise without any unexpected pull or vibration at speed.
