Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 8 December 2025, but the inspection history shows a worsening trend regarding component degradation. While the vehicle has avoided outright failures since 2021, the number and variety of advisories have increased. The 2025 test introduced new concerns involving an oil leak and corrosion on both rear coil springs, alongside recurring issues with tyre perishing. The recorded mileage of 21,131 miles is notably low for a 2007 model, averaging approximately 1,112 miles per year. This pattern of infrequent use often correlates with the specific defects noted in the records. The repeated advisories for tyres cracking or perishing in 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest the vehicle may spend significant periods stationary, which can lead to rubber degradation regardless of tread depth. A physical inspection should prioritise the chassis and suspension components. The tester flagged corroded nearside and offside rear coil springs in the December 2025 test, and the 2024 record noted perishing inner bushes on both front suspension arms. These issues indicate progressive wear in the suspension system that requires close monitoring. The recent advisory regarding an oil leak also warrants a thorough check of the engine and transmission seals to determine the source and severity. Potential buyers should also examine the condition of all four tyres, as the records show a consistent pattern of perishing and uneven wear. The headlamp lens defects noted in 2022 and 2023 suggest possible UV degradation or moisture ingress. Given the low annual mileage and the specific advisories for corrosion and perishing rubber, the vehicle's mechanical state appears to be influenced by long-term storage or minimal usage rather than high-speed road wear.

Our Verdict

A highly attractive option for buyers seeking a low-mileage example of this model. The exceptionally low mileage and consistent MOT pass history make this a standout candidate for inspection.

When inspecting this specific Micra, focus on the mechanical implications of such low usage. Vehicles that spend long periods stationary can sometimes suffer from dried-out rubber seals or battery issues. Ensure you check the service history to see if oil changes were performed regularly despite the low mileage, as engine components still require lubrication regardless of distance travelled.

Negotiate based on the documented MOT history. While the records are clean, always verify that the vehicle's physical condition matches the lack of recorded defects. Check the tyre tread depths and manufacture dates, as low-mileage cars can often sit on ageing rubber that may be nearing the end of its safe life despite looking new.

The 1240cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this a cost-effective choice for urban driving. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a modest insurance group, suitable for newer or budget-conscious drivers.

Maintenance costs for this model are typically low, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, be mindful that common Micra issues often involve tyres, suspension arms, or headlamps, as noted in aggregate model data. Estimated annual running costs are relatively low due to the small engine size and low projected annual mileage.

Based on the aggregate data for Nissan Micras, pay close attention to the suspension components, specifically the suspension arms, and ensure the headlamps are clear and functioning correctly. Although this specific vehicle has had no recorded failures, these are the most frequent reasons for failure across the wider model population.

Check the tyres thoroughly. Even if they have plenty of tread, check for sidewall cracking which can occur on low-mileage vehicles that have been parked for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is common in cars with minimal usage.

This 2007 Nissan Micra (WM07GVZ) presents with significantly lower mileage than the model average, having covered just 21,131 miles as of December 2025. The MOT history shows five consecutive years of clean passes with no recorded defects or advisories. Given the 1.2L petrol engine and silver paintwork, it appears to have been used sparingly over its 19-year lifespan.

The Nissan Micra shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.0% across the dataset, with common failures related to tyres and suspension.
