2014 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · WR14 YMY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 12 May 2026 at 42,976 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent failure involved only a minor adjustment to the nearside front headlamp aim which was rectified immediately. The previous year's pass in March 2025 indicates that the owner is responsive to addressing specific mechanical defects identified during the testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,580 miles per year. Data shows very little movement between tests; for instance, the car covered only 150 miles between June 2023 (42,745 miles) and March 2025 (42,895 miles), and a mere 81 miles between March 2025 and May 2026. While this low usage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid acidity. A physical inspection should focus on the components previously flagged during the June 2023 test at 42,745 miles. The tester noted thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs, alongside a weak and corroded central front engine oil sump. A buyer must verify that the oil sump is not leaking and that the corrosion has not progressed structurally. Additionally, given the low mileage and the nearside rear tyre failure in 2025, the tyres should be checked for sidewall rot or cracking, which often affects older vehicles that are infrequently used.
