The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 16V S AUTO is a small five-door city car for travel. Its compact size and automatic gearbox suit urban driving, parking and stop-start journeys, and compete with the Ford Fiesta and Toyota Yaris. It’s less suited to families needing lots of space inside. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,426 checks across 739 distinct VINs, a useful sample of interest in this Micra. Checks show an average latest recorded mileage of 79,000 miles and 5,000 miles a year; the average keeper count is about five, while average private-sale valuation is £1,200 in the observed data overall. The five-door layout makes access easy, and the 1.2-litre petrol engine is suited to local journeys; the automatic adds convenience, though buyers should check condition and service history, as with any older used car. Compared with superminis, this Micra is simple to live with, suiting commuters, first-time drivers and downsizers.
