My elderly mum had a 2000 W reg micra purchased with 98000 miles on the clock. Had it 7 years never did any real miles in it approx 3000 miles done mainly by me and the family when our cars were in for repairs etc. Never changed the oil or put any water in it and it was as reliable as a new car. Two rear patches at the end of the rear sills was all it had. Sold it 5 years ago when my dad passed away to get her a newer car. The Micra is still going strong today! No two cars are the same, different environments and accident history etc can have a huge effect on the body works longevity.
