The NISSAN MICRA (1995-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 INSPIRATION SR is a small, three-door city car from a generation that helped make the Micra a familiar sight on UK roads. Easy to place and simple in concept, it sits among practical, affordable hatchbacks rather than larger family cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 57 checks covering 29 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of interest in this older model. With its compact size, modest 1.0-litre engine and straightforward layout, the Micra is best suited to town journeys, short commutes and drivers who value easy parking over space or speed. Against rivals, it favours easy parking and low-cost town motoring; it suits first-time drivers, but its three doors limit rear-seat convenience. Check each car’s condition and history carefully, as age and upkeep matter more than the badge. Checks show £300 average private-sale value, 80,000 average recorded miles, 5,000 annual miles and nearly four keepers.
