2017 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · YA17 CHN

The Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 8 January 2026 at 51,690 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA data shows no defects or advisories at any stage, and the latest test sits roughly six months before today's date, indicating current validity. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on 7 January 2026 at identical mileage with no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 3 June 2025 when a fail preceded a pass on the same day at 50,140 miles. These same-day fail-and-pass pairs with no recorded faults suggest administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects. The odometer reflects low usage for a 2017 registered car, accumulating just 51,690 miles over approximately nine years, an average of 5,743 miles annually. From the 4 June 2024 test at 44,876 miles to the 3 June 2025 test at 50,140 miles the car covered 5,264 miles, then added only 1,550 miles by January 2026. Such low and slowing mileage implies light commuting or extended standing periods, which can mask deterioration in rubber components, brake calipers, and underbody corrosion despite clean test results. The sparse record of three annual tests with no advisories gives limited insight into wear trends but shows no escalation of faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likelihood of prolonged inactivity. Standing vehicles commonly develop binding calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and structural rust on sills or subframes not captured in a pass with zero advisories. The absence of recorded emissions or exhaust concerns is reassuring, yet the same-day failures without defects warrant confirmation that the V5C and MOT paperwork match the DVSA timeline before purchase.
