The NISSAN MICRA (1995-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 TEMPEST NCVT AUTO is a small three-door city car for everyday motoring. Its compact shape helps with parking and narrow streets, while the automatic gearbox makes stop-start traffic easier. In the UK, it belongs to the affordable small-hatchback class. Mycarcheck.com records show 46 look-ups covering 32 different VINs, a useful snapshot. The recorded cars averaged 55,000 miles and around 2,000 miles a year, with nearly four previous keepers. Average private-sale valuation was £500, pointing to a budget-conscious choice; condition matters greatly at this age. The Micra suits solo drivers, couples and first-time buyers seeking simple local transport, rather than families needing generous space. Its uncomplicated character and modest 1.0-litre engine are appealing, while the automatic is convenient in town. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, this older Micra offers an affordable, distinctive small-car option, but check its condition and service history.
