My Micra is pulling left when going straight .I`ve went to Nissan in Lincoln and they`ve told me that is from tyre pressure .OK. Tyre pressure fixed ...still pulling left .I`ve went to an MOT and tyres allignment (cause at Nissan a tracking test is about 50 pounds) and did the tracking test (26 pounds) and it`s ok double checked ,still.....pulling left .They`ve changed the front tyres between them ....still pulling left ...Can anyone tell me what is the problem at this car . From that service their only answer was that "in 20 years i haven`t see anything like this".They`ve told me that somehow something in there could be bent and that`s why is pulling left ..It is not pulling left hard but if you drive 50 miles a day, you sense it in your right arm.

I don`t know ...I have the Micra for 1 month...I think the previous owner did something to it ...I mean I whould know if I hit a bump hard
And how much did it cost you to fix it and where? I mean did you go to Nissan to fix it?
When I had this on my Pug it followed a smack on a pothole. The smack meant the end of a bush that had been cracking on the left suspension, which meant the wishbone wobbled from side to side. Wasn't expensive to replace the wishbone and bush.

perhaps the problem is in the rear of the car?... try looking at your rear bushes, and see if the rear beam is bent or out of place, doesn't matter how tracked your car is up front if the rear is crabbing, right?...
Thanks guys for the advice ....I`ll go and search for a mechanic to look at all both front and end
Found out finally why is pulling left . It has a bended subframe on the left part and the front pillar left is twisted I guess the other owner hit a ditch very hard cause the front bumper is not fixed it is just patch up just to look fine but in the inside is rubbish .The front pillar on the left has some glue like something on him.I`ve talked to the other owner and he doesn`t want to pay for the repairs.I`ve talked to Trading Standards and they didn`t told me how to force the other owner to pay . I`m desperate cause it`s gonna cost me a lot to fix it.

If it was a dealer, however, they have a duty to provide you with a road-safe car - which this clearly isn't! That's why I usually go to a dealer, as you have some comeback if the car turns out to be a dud.
