The NISSAN MICRA (1995-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4I ACTIV is a compact three-door petrol hatchback, aimed at affordable everyday motoring. In the UK it belongs to the city-car class, with handy dimensions for crowded streets and parking. Mycarcheck.com data includes 47 look-ups across 28 distinct VINs, a useful but modest snapshot of cars researched. The 1.4-litre engine gives this Micra a livelier feel than entry-level city cars, while its simple controls make it easy to drive. It is well suited to urban commuters, first-time drivers and households seeking an economical runabout; the three-door body is less practical for frequent rear-seat access. Mycarcheck checks show average recorded mileage of 86,000 miles, annual mileage of 3,000 and 3.34 previous keepers. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, it stands out for its compact character and uncomplicated ownership appeal. The average private-sale valuation in these checks was £400; condition and history matter greatly.
