2008 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YR58 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the most recent testing cycles. The latest MOT conducted in June 2025 at 74,973 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a brief failure in May 2024 at 67,461 miles, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass three days later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,165 miles per year. The data shows a period of higher activity between May 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered 3,747 miles in just thirteen months, followed by a more consistent run of 6,505 miles the following year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related seal issues that are not directly triggered by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related issues that the MOT does not always capture. Given the low annual usage, check the chassis for surface corrosion or structural rust, particularly in the arches and sills where moisture settles during long periods. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and the brake lines for signs of cracking, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. While the digital history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough look at the integrity of the underbody to ensure no hidden structural decay has occurred.
