The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 86 ACTIV RED is a small, three-door diesel hatchback for affordable everyday motoring. In the UK it sits in the city-car class, offering easy parking and useful cabin space without the size of a family hatchback. Its rounded styling gives this Micra plenty of character. The 1.5 dCi engine suits commuters and drivers covering journeys, with diesel economy helping keep fuel spending sensible. Three doors make rear access less convenient than in a five-door rival, but this Micra is suited to singles, couples and first-time drivers wanting a compact, distinctive used car for town trips and longer drives. Mycarcheck.com records just four look-ups, covering four VINs, so figures are indicative rather than a broad market picture. The average private-sale valuation was £1,300, with 123,000 miles, 4,000 miles annually and five previous keepers; check each car’s history and condition carefully before buying today.
