Nissan Micra 1.0 Dx (1986)
1986 Nissan Micra 1.0 Dx
CarHunch is tracking 1,604 1986 Nissan Micra 1.0 Dx vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1986 Nissan Micra 1.0 DX is no longer appearing in the live MOT testing pool—none of the 1,604 vehicles analysed achieved a recordable pass, which means they've either been scrapped, taken off the road, or their MOT records have been archived beyond current retrieval. With zero average failures and zero dangerous defects recorded across the cohort, there's no evidence of systemic safety issues, but the lack of active test data makes it impossible to assess the reliability of any surviving examples today.
At 38 years old, any 1986 Micra still in use would be a classic or enthusiast's restoration project rather than a practical daily driver—check its full service history and have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in older Japanese cars, as parts availability and finding knowledgeable repair shops will be your real challenges, not the model's inherent design flaws.
We have 1,604 1986 Nissan Micra 1.0 Dx vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1986 Nissan Micra 1.0 Dx
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
