# 1990 NISSAN MICRA LS
This 1990 Micra has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80% and signals serious reliability concerns. With zero dangerous defects recorded across 21,148 vehicles analysed, at least safety-critical failures aren't the issue here—but the complete absence of any passes or failures suggests these cars are simply too old to produce meaningful MOT data anymore.
At an average mileage of 52,543 miles, these Micras have covered relatively modest distances for their 34 years, yet they're clearly failing their tests consistently. If you're considering a 1990 Micra, expect significant repair costs to get it through MOT; budget for a professional pre-purchase inspection and be prepared that older Nissans of this era often need work on brakes, suspension, and emissions systems.
We have 21,148 1990 Nissan Micra Ls 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 1990 Nissan Micra Ls
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.
