2021 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · YA21 KXD

The 2026-02-23 MOT at 21,360 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. No advisory notes were logged, and the tester noted no binding components, corrosion, or emission failures. The mileage trajectory shows a steady rise: from 16,648 miles in May 2024 to 19,691 miles in June 2025 (3,043 miles over 11 months) and to 21,360 miles in February 2026 (1,669 miles over 8 months), averaging roughly 4,272 miles per year, which is low for a five‑year‑old car and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or wear, test the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the subframe and sills. The exhaust system should also be checked for cracks or excessive smoke, and tyre tread depth must be verified to confirm that low mileage has not corresponded to neglect of consumables. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection remains essential to verify that the low mileage has not masked latent issues such as seized components or hidden structural damage, ensuring the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
