The NISSAN MICRA (1995-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 S NCVT AUTO is a three-door city car, designed for everyday motoring rather than spacious family travel. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable small hatchbacks, offering simple transport and an automatic gearbox that can make stop-start town driving less tiring. Mycarcheck.com records show 724 look-ups covering 326 different VINs, a sample for this older model. Checks report an average private-sale valuation of £500, average recorded mileage of 62,000 miles and annual mileage of 5,000 miles. The average keeper count is about five, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. Its small footprint and simple character suit new drivers, singles, couples and commuters needing an easy-to-park runabout; three doors make rear access less convenient for regular passengers. The 1.0-litre engine suits town use, while automatic transmission is a useful convenience among budget-era rivals. Compare condition, service records and safety needs.
