2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · YY60 CEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in August 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test at 142,044 miles showed no failures, the failure just one day prior highlighted critical safety issues including a weakened front inner brake disc and both front tyres being below the legal limit. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical and consumable faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold, leading to a cycle of deteriorating vehicle standards between testing intervals. At 142,044 miles, the Nissan Micra has averaged approximately 8,878 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 12,000 miles in the following year. This consistent mileage suggests the car is used for regular commuting, yet the repeated failures on suspension components and tyres indicate that routine inspections are being neglected. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and the gearbox. The record shows a persistent gearbox oil leak dating back to 2023 at 119,554 miles, which remains unaddressed. Furthermore, the suspension arm bushes have been flagged as being worn or excessively worn across multiple tests in 2023 and 2024. You should also check the condition of the rear coil springs noted in 2024 to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to structural failure. Given the recent failure of a weakened brake disc in 2025, verifying the current state of all pads and discs is essential to ensure the replacement was performed correctly.
