2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WD55 MTZ

This 2006 Nissan Micra is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 May 2025 at 85,267 miles passed with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any flagged advisories, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,263 miles per year. A significant gap in usage is evident between November 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer moved only 265 miles from 76,989 to 85,254. This indicates the car spent long periods stationary. While low mileage reduces general drivetrain wear, prolonged inactivity often leads to perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, or seized brake calipers. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across several years. While this suggests a well-kept car, the lack of any mentioned wear on consumables like brake discs or suspension bushes is atypical for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the underbody for structural corrosion and check the condition of the tyres and brake fluid, as these often degrade due to age rather than mileage. The two recorded failures in November 2023 and November 2024 were resolved quickly, though the record provides no specific data on what caused those failures. You should verify the service history to ensure oil changes and belt replacements occurred regardless of the low annual mileage. Focus your physical inspection on the battery health and any signs of leaks that typically emerge after a car has sat idle for extended periods.
