The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 65 S is a small three-door diesel hatchback for affordable everyday transport. In the UK, it sits among practical city cars: easier to park than a family hatchback, yet its diesel engine also suits regular commuting and longer trips or weekend outings. mycarcheck.com records 25 checks across 23 distinct VINs, a modest sample. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £800 and recorded mileage of 99,000 miles; annual mileage averages 7,000. Cars have had about 4.3 previous keepers, so condition and ownership history deserve close attention when viewing any example carefully. The Micra’s compact size and simple character suit first-time drivers, couples and commuters prioritising low costs over space or speed. Compared with petrol city-car rivals, this diesel is most appealing for regular-distance driving. Check service history and condition carefully, as upkeep matters on an older used car before you buy.
