2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WD07 DVZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 47,960 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle is kept to a standard that prevents the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural deterioration typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Nissan, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2022, the car covered only 1,139 miles, suggesting periods of limited use or storage. However, usage increased significantly recently between July 2023 and August 2025, where the vehicle clocked 16,521 miles in just over two years. While the low total mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent usage pattern increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to perishation and corrosion rather than mileage. A buyer should inspect the chassis for structural rust, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, where moisture often traps when a vehicle sits stationary. The suspension bushes and tyre boots should be checked for cracking or dry rot, as these degrade regardless of distance driven. Additionally, the brakes should be tested for seizing or uneven wear, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake caliper corrosion and pitted discs.
