2022 Nissan Micra 1.0L Petrol · YM22 FOP

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition following its most recent MOT test on 22 May 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car passed with only a single minor advisory noted. The tester flagged the offside front shock absorber for light misting of oil, which indicates the early stages of seal failure rather than an immediate mechanical or safety risk. As of the May 2026 test, the car has covered 14,767 miles, averaging approximately 3,692 miles per year over its four-year life. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has minimal use, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The record is sparse but clean, showing no history of major mechanical failures or recurring structural issues during the low-mileage period. A physical inspection should focus on the offside front shock absorber to determine if the misting is progressing toward a significant leak. While currently only an advisory, a failing damper will eventually require replacement to maintain consistent handling. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also check for flat spots on tyres or corrosion on brake discs, as vehicles that sit for long periods can develop surface rust or seized braking components despite low odometer readings.
