2004 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WM04 YSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with 90,109 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in early 2024. While the November 2025 failure involved only minor electrical and utility items like a plate lamp and windscreen washer, these were rectified within a week to secure a pass. This suggests the current owner is willing to address immediate test failures to keep the vehicle on the road. At 22 years old, the mileage of 90,109 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-term usage, with only 3,825 miles covered between March 2024 and November 2025. This low mileage often indicates less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components and seals. The gaps between tests suggest the car may sit for extended periods, which is consistent with the low annual mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the March 2024 test flagged an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. Although this was repaired, the previous history of exposed tyre cords in 2023 and 2024 indicates a pattern of potential alignment issues or neglect regarding consumable wear. You must check the current set of tyres for uneven wear and ensure the ball joints and bushings are not out of play. Given the vehicle's age and low use, a thorough visual check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear chassis is essential, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rust that mechanical wear might mask.
