2018 Nissan Micra 0.9L Petrol · YL67 XSM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, but it now carries an advisory for a corroded nearside front coil spring. There is a recurring pattern of wear affecting the front suspension and braking systems. In 2023 and 2024, the car had advisories for worn lower suspension arm bushes on both the offside and nearside, as well as slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage. The vehicle also failed in early 2023 due to tyre defects and worn front brake discs. The condition trend appears to be worsening. While previous suspension issues were noted as not yet causing excessive movement, the most recent appearance of corrosion on the coil spring suggests that the front-end components are continuing to deteriorate. The mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age. This indicates a standard level of wear on consumables and suspension components rather than evidence of extreme hard use or issues stemming from long periods of inactivity. The most important checks for a buyer are to carefully inspect the front suspension for further corrosion or movement and to verify the current condition of the front brake discs.
