2013 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YN63 YLC

The Nissan Micra presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 9 September 2025 at 97,105 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, with annual examinations showing clean results apart from an anomalous failure on 4 September 2024 at 89,882 miles that listed no defects; the vehicle then passed a retest nine days later on 13 September 2024 at 90,068 miles. This pattern suggests consistent upkeep rather than escalating mechanical decline. Odometer readings track closely with the vehicle's thirteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,470 miles per year against a recorded 97,105 miles today. The tests show measured annual increments: 78,230 miles in September 2022, 84,533 in September 2023, 89,882 by early September 2024, and 97,105 by September 2025. Such steady accumulation indicates regular use without prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. The official record remains sparse but clean, offering little evidence of neglected intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT advisories did not flag. The tester noted no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion at any stage, yet a 2013 hatchback approaching 100,000 miles will likely exhibit worn rubber mountings and surface rust on sills or subframes. We recommend examining the rear beam axle for corrosion, checking front calipers for binding, and measuring brake disc wear against manufacturer limits. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, as the only blemish is a fail with no recorded defects that was swiftly rectified. That anomaly hints at possible administrative error rather than mechanical neglect. Prospective purchasers should verify service history and scrutinise tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions during a physical appraisal, given these consumables fall outside the sparse MOT trail.
