2004 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · WP04 KUG

This vehicle maintains a clean recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 97,062 miles resulting in a pass after an initial administrative failure. The lack of recorded defects across the last four annual inspections suggests a vehicle that has been subjected to consistent, if light, maintenance. While the record is remarkably free of technical advisories, the sudden failure on the same day as the pass in 2025 warrants a brief verification of the paperwork to ensure no underlying issues were rectified or overlooked during that session. The recorded mileage of 97,062 over twenty-two years averages approximately 4,412 miles per annum, indicating a pattern of light usage. The vehicle covered roughly 1,700 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, followed by a more significant increase of over 9,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This recent uptick in usage is a positive sign for a vehicle of this vintage, as it suggests the engine and drivetrain have been exercised regularly rather than left to sit for extended periods, which often leads to seized components or perished seals. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must prioritise the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as these Nissan Micra models are prone to corrosion that may not always be captured by a standard test if the tester focuses solely on mechanical function. You should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or surface rust, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this age regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or heavy pitting, as the low annual usage in earlier years can lead to binding calipers or surface oxidation on the friction surfaces.
