Buying a New Nissan Micra 2015

aqib99

Saw a car today and saw this 2015 micra, car was working perfect on test drive searched up on its MOT and found this
Integral body structure is deformed but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced both lower/outer sills deformed at rear (6.1.1 (a) (i))
It had passed its MOT but i am unsure as to what this means can someone help me 

facade

The sills ( the area under the doors that extends from the front wheelarch to back wheelarch) on both sides are dented.

Could be very very careless driving, or it could even have happened when they were loading it onto a truck with a forklift  at a salvage yard.

Buy another one.

Just pick a different car.  Nothing wrong with a Micra, just not this one.

Probably been careless in National Trust carparks and hit some low posts.  
Either way it's the sort of thing where you can't really just bolt on a new part. 
Plenty of Micras to choose from.

Pedant's corner: how can it be 'new' if it's 2015 reg?

It could just be something as simple as a half-wit hitter jacking it up badly when replacing the tyres.

But, agreed, plenty more fish in the sea.

So, 'used' to the rest of us.
