The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 82 SPORT is a small five-door diesel hatchback, aimed at buyers who want an economical, easy-to-park car rather than a large family vehicle. In the UK, the Micra sits among practical city cars, with five doors adding everyday convenience for passengers and shopping. The 1.5 dCi engine suits regular commuters and drivers covering longer journeys, while its compact size and straightforward nature can also appeal to first-time drivers and smaller households. Sport trim gives this Micra a more purposeful look than basic versions, but its strongest appeal is sensible transport: simple to live with, easy to manoeuvre and generally less costly to run than larger cars. Mycarcheck's small sample comprises five look-ups across four VINs. Averages are £1,000 private-sale value, 114,000 miles and 5.8 previous keepers. The Micra offers a friendly, city-focused alternative to rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and others.
