2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WN16 VSU

The 2016 Nissan Micra presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 18 February 2026 at 17,230 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the five-year MOT span, with every annual test from 20 February 2023 through to the latest examination returning a pass and no defects or advisories logged by the tester. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 18 February 2026 at the same mileage, yet no defects were recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a notably low 1,723 miles given the vehicle's ten-year age, with the odometer climbing from 13,906 miles at the 20 February 2023 test to 15,012 miles on 16 February 2024, then 16,292 miles on 18 February 2025, and 17,230 miles on 18 February 2026. The record shows no gaps or sudden accumulation; the yearly increments of roughly 1,000 to 1,200 miles reflect light, consistent use. Such low throughput suggests the car spent extended periods stationary between short journeys. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs despite the absent advisories, as standing time promotes perished rubber components and surface corrosion on brake calipers. The clean MOT history offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, though underside rust and exhaust emissions should be verified where moisture ingress from inactivity may have taken hold. Previous keepers clearly kept basic upkeep current, with no failed consumable items like tyre tread or wiper blades across the sequence. The spotless defect record implies disciplined servicing, but the 2026 administrative fail warrants confirmation that no suppressed fault existed on the day.
