2006 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YC56 XVR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 100,501 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a stable trend that dates back to 2021. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or immediate structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,025 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2024, the car covered only 2,662 miles, moving from 97,798 to 100,460 miles. This low annual usage indicates minimal wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or internal corrosion within the fluid systems, which the MOT record does not fully capture. While the digital record shows no failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on age-related issues that low mileage cannot prevent. Pay attention to the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, where corrosion often begins on older Micras regardless of distance driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or perished material, as these wear out over time rather than mileage. Additionally, check the brake discs for pitting or seizing, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the braking system.
