2015 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YA64 LYV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring failure to address specific mechanical components. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 42,196 miles resulted in a pass despite previous failures for ineffective wipers and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. This specific suspension issue was also flagged in 2024 at 41,931 miles, indicating that the owner has deferred replacing the part despite it appearing across multiple inspection cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the recorded data. The June 2024 test recorded 41,931 miles while the June 2025 test recorded 47,196 miles. This represents an increase of 5,265 miles in a single year, which contradicts the overall low-usage trend and suggests a period of heavier use during that specific interval. The current recorded mileage of 42,196 miles appears inconsistent with the most recent MOT entry. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the offside front suspension assembly, as the persistent wear on the arm pin or bush suggests the component is nearing total failure. The braking system also shows a history of wear, with worn discs noted in both 2022 and 2023. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also check for perished rubber components, specifically tyre sidewalls and wiper blades, as the record previously flagged cracking and perishing rubber during the 2022 test. These issues are common in vehicles that remain stationary for long periods rather than those subjected to high mileage.
