The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 86 ACTIV RED is a small five-door supermini, built for town streets and everyday motoring. Its compact size makes parking straightforward, while the rear doors and useful hatchback boot give it more flexibility than a tiny city car. Red paint adds character. mycarcheck.com has recorded 16 checks across 12 distinct VINs, so this is a modest sample rather than a full market survey. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,600 and average recorded mileage of 104,000 miles; average annual mileage is 6,000, with about four previous keepers. The 1.5 dCi diesel is valued for low running costs and relaxed commuting, making this Micra a sensible choice for first-time drivers, couples or small households covering regular journeys. Against Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa rivals, it stands out for easy manoeuvring and character, though newer or larger cars offer more space and refinement.
