The NISSAN MICRA (2010-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 12V 80 EU5 TEKNA is a small five-door city car, designed for easy motoring rather than long-distance luxury. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable superminis, appealing to drivers who want compact dimensions, simple parking and the practicality of rear doors. Mycarcheck.com records 57 look-ups covering 29 different VINs, a modest but helpful snapshot of cars checked. The average private-sale valuation is £2,900, with 69,000 miles recorded and about 4,000 miles driven yearly; cars have had an average of 3.4 previous keepers. These figures describe checked examples, not every Micra. The Tekna version adds a generously equipped feel, while the 1.2-litre petrol engine and light, straightforward controls suit new drivers, commuters and households. Against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Toyota Yaris, the Micra is known for being approachable and easy to manoeuvre. Check service history and condition before buying.
