The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 82 SPORT is a small, three-door supermini: an easy-to-park city car rather than a family-sized hatchback. Its diesel engine gives it a useful long-distance side, making it a practical choice for commuters who want compact dimensions and potentially lower fuel use than a petrol alternative. The Sport trim adds a more purposeful look to the Micra’s distinctive rounded design. mycarcheck.com has recorded 11 checks covering four distinct VINs, so these figures offer a small snapshot, not a market-wide verdict. The checked cars averaged £1,100 in private-sale value and 142,000 miles; recorded annual mileage averaged 2,000, with about four previous keepers. That combination makes careful checks of service history, condition and mileage especially worthwhile. Compared with the Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio, it offers distinctive styling and easy city manners, suiting first-time buyers, couples and commuters seeking an affordable runabout for everyday travel.
