Nissan Micra 1.0 Sgl Auto (1987)
1987 Nissan Micra 1.0 Sgl Auto
CarHunch is tracking 3,172 1987 Nissan Micra 1.0 Sgl Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1987 Nissan Micra has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is drastically below the UK average of 80%—every vehicle in this cohort of 3,172 failed its MOT. However, the 0% dangerous defect rate suggests these failures aren't safety-critical; instead, they point to age-related wear on components like emissions systems, lights, and exhaust integrity typical of a 37-year-old car.
Without mileage data to contextualise condition, the practical reality is that any 1987 Micra you encounter will need work to pass MOT. If you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist and expect immediate remedial costs; these cars are now primarily of interest to enthusiasts rather than practical buyers.
We have 3,172 1987 Nissan Micra 1.0 Sgl Auto 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 1987 Nissan Micra 1.0 Sgl Auto
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.
