The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V ACTIVE LUXURY is a five-door small hatchback in the UK supermini class, alongside cars such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Its compact size makes it easy to place in town, while five doors give passengers and shopping more practical access than many small city cars. The 1.4-litre petrol engine offers a useful step up for drivers wanting more flexibility than a basic city car, and the Active Luxury trim gives this Micra a comfort-focused appeal. It suits commuting, errands and first-time ownership, as well as small households needing affordable everyday transport; it is less suited to regular long-distance travel with a full load. mycarcheck.com records 112 checks across 33 VINs: average mileage is 94,000 miles, with 5.6 previous keepers and a £2,000 private-sale estimate. These are useful guides, not guarantees, when assessing this practical, well-used small-car rival.
