2020 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · WR20 KXT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in June 2025 at 24,815 miles identified an advisory for a slightly worn inner rear suspension component pin or bush. This represents a progression from the 2024 test where multiple consumable faults were noted, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age despite the low overall mileage. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,136 miles per year. There is a consistent gap of roughly 6,400 miles between the June 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,050 miles recorded up to the June 2025 inspection. While low mileage generally indicates less strain on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake surfaces if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension and alignment, as the 2024 record flagged the nearside front tyre wearing prematurely on the inside edge, which often indicates incorrect geometry or worn wishbone bushes. The recent advisory on the inner rear bush requires a physical inspection to ensure the play has not developed into a structural failure. Given that the 2024 report noted thin front brake pads and defective wipers, the current state of these consumables should be verified to ensure they were replaced following that last MOT.
