2009 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WF59 AEY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-08 at 68,350 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-10-01 at 68,249 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues. The 2024-10-01 pass at 63,150 miles and 2023-09-27 pass at 58,442 miles indicate prior compliance, though the duplicate 2023-09-27 fail at the same mileage raises questions about testing accuracy. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clarity, with no definitive signs of worsening or improvement. The vehicle’s mileage of 68,350 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 4,021 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing risks of brake component corrosion, suspension stiffness, and battery degradation. The 2023-09-27 tests at 58,442 miles, followed by a 4,708-mile increase to 63,150 by 2024-10-01, suggest irregular usage patterns. The subsequent 5,208-mile jump to 68,350 by 2025-10-08 further highlights uneven wear potential, particularly on drivetrain components and tyre tread. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the brake system for corrosion or binding, given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may exhibit stiffness or wear from infrequent use. A thorough check of the exhaust system for rust or leaks is also advised, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to internal corrosion. While MOT records show no structural defects, the lack of detailed failure notes necessitates a hands-on assessment of fluid levels, battery condition, and steering alignment to confirm roadworthiness.
