The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 68 S is a small, three-door diesel hatchback, designed for affordable everyday motoring. In the used-car market, it sits among practical city cars such as the Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio, with compact dimensions that make parking and narrow streets less daunting. The 1.5 dCi engine is valued for fuel-conscious running, making this Micra a sensible choice for commuters, students and first-time drivers seeking an inexpensive runabout. Its straightforward cabin and easy-to-manage size suit solo drivers or couples, though the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat passengers than a five-door rival. Mycarcheck.com records only three checks covering one distinct VIN, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £1,300, mileage of 127,000 and annual use of 6,000 miles; the average nine previous keepers is worth checking against the car’s history.
