2007 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YC56 UDZ

The 2026 MOT for the 2007 Nissan Micra recorded 181,814 miles, with multiple defects including windscreen cracks, headlamp lens issues, tyre wear, and suspension component deterioration. Notably, the nearside front inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and both front shock absorbers showed light oil misting. The vehicle also had an oil leak, though described as non-excessive, and multiple valve stems with damage or perishing. These issues suggest ongoing wear in critical areas like tyres, suspension, and lighting. Recurring defects over the past four years include windscreen damage, tyre wear, and suspension component faults. The nearside windscreen crack has been noted in every MOT since 2022, while tyre wear and valve stem issues have persisted, with increasing severity in 2026. Suspension components, such as ball joint dust covers and shock absorber bushes, have shown gradual deterioration, indicating potential long-term wear. However, no major safety-critical failures have been recorded, and the vehicle has consistently passed MOTs. The trend of defects appears stable rather than worsening, with similar issues recurring annually. While some components show progressive wear (e.g., brake discs, suspension bushes), the vehicle has not exhibited critical failures that would compromise safety.
