2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WM04 BZW

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent inspection on 27 October 2025 at 81,549 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 79,777 miles, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have remained within DVSA-acceptable tolerances over the last two years of recorded history. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the car covered only 3,351 miles, moving from 78,198 to 81,549 miles. This low usage suggests light operation, which typically preserves the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals and bushings, which are not always captured by mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and underside, as older Micras are prone to corrosion in the wheel arches and floor pans. While the record shows no current defects, the recorded failures in 2023 and 2025 suggest the vehicle may occasionally require minor adjustments or consumable replacements to meet testing standards immediately before an MOT. Inspect for perished brake lines or seized caliper calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from component seizing due to lack of frequent use.
