The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 16V 80 SPIRITA AUTO is a small five-door city hatchback, aimed at easy everyday motoring rather than long-distance luxury. Compact dimensions make parking straightforward, while the automatic gearbox can ease stop-start journeys. It is an affordable UK used-car alternative to larger family cars. mycarcheck.com recorded 562 checks across 301 distinct VINs, giving a snapshot of cars examined. These Micras averaged £1,800 in private-sale valuation and 75,000 miles; typical annual use was 5,000 miles. The average keeper count was about four, so check each car’s service history and condition rather than relying on averages. The five-door layout suits singles, couples, newer drivers and households needing town transport, though boot and rear-seat space are modest beside hatchbacks. Its styling and easy-to-drive character help it stand out against rivals such as the Toyota Yaris and Ford Fiesta; a well-kept automatic Micra can be an approachable choice.
