2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YL16 RNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in late November 2025 at 25,712 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair following an initial failure on that same date due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint. While the immediate mechanical defect was rectified to secure the pass, the clean record from the December 2024 test suggests the vehicle was generally stable between specific faults rather than undergoing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per annum. Data intervals show consistent but infrequent use, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,300 miles in the year leading to the latest entry. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear from distance, even if the vehicle has not travelled significant distances. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry due to the history of component failure. The December 2023 test at 16,723 miles flagged a slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing alongside sidewall perishing on multiple tyres. These indicators suggest the car likely sits stationary for long periods, which causes dry rot in tyres and bearing seizure despite low mileage. Inspect all tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and check the brake discs for surface corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the rotors.
