2016 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YP16 DGO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes across multiple years. The most recent test on 15 July 2024 at 33,947 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, despite an initial failure on the same day. This momentary failure suggests a minor component-related issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record since 2021. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2022, the car covered only 6,763 miles, with a further 6,972 miles recorded in the following twelve months. This low-usage profile typically results in reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake fluid moisture. Given the lack of advisories regarding structural corrosion or recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on items susceptible to low-mileage neglect. This includes checking for flat spots on the tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers caused by infrequent use. The buyer should also inspect the underside for early surface rust on the chassis, as the MOT record has not flagged any structural concerns despite the vehicle's age.
