2002 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · WK02 OMM

The 2025-10-23 MOT at 62,355 miles confirmed the 2002 Nissan Micra as roadworthy, with no defects recorded. Both the same‑day failure and the preceding 2024-10-22 pass show a consistent record of zero defects, indicating stable maintenance. The mileage rose from 45,297 miles in October 2023 to 62,355 miles by October 2025, a gain of roughly 17,000 miles over two years, or about 8,500 miles per year, which exceeds the 2,598 miles per year average for a 24‑year‑old car. The intervals between tests are roughly one year, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and look for any structural rust on the chassis or sills. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion or damage. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the recurring mileage pattern implies that consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades may have been replaced, while underlying mechanical components merit a close visual and functional inspection before purchase.
