Used Nissan Micra cars

If you're thinking of buying and financing a used Nissan Micra through Cazoo, take a look at our Nissan Micra car buying guide below.

The style of the car

The Micra has a large interior considering its small exterior size, as well as a good-sized boot. The five-door Nissan rivals larger and more expensive models for space. All Micra models feature alloy wheels and its sleek looks help it stand out from its more traditionally supermini rivals.

How it drives

Designed to be easy to drive, the Micra is relaxing and enjoyable on the road. Light steering and excellent visibility make it easy to place on the road, while its compact exterior dimensions help enormously when parking. The engines deliver nippy performance, making the Micra good fun to drive and easily capable of long motorway journeys. You can choose between a smooth, manual or an automatic gearbox.

The interior

Inside, the five-seater Micra is more spacious than many rivals. Passengers in the rear get generous head and legroom, and plenty of useful storage. The boot is similar in size to rivals, easily holding two medium-sized suitcases. The interior features premium materials and dashboard that places all the major controls and switches in easy reach. All models feature air con and Bluetooth connectivity, while Acenta models and above include an intuitive touchscreen infotainment system. The N Sport adds sporty visual touches, while the N Connecta has sat nav and climate control. The luxurious Tekna brings leather-look seat trim and a Bose stereo.

Running costs and reliability

Across the range, the well equipped Nissan undercuts rivals on price, making it a great value used buy. The engines are efficient, delivering excellent fuel economy and low road tax bills. A low insurance group means affordable premiums, and maintenance costs are no higher than similar cars. Nissan was ranked the fourth most reliable car brand in the JD Power Dependability Study. All cars feature the Safety Pack as standard, which is reflected in the Micra’s five-star Euro NCAP result.

How it compares with similar cars

The Micra is the entry point to the Nissan range and is smaller than the Nissan Juke. Although it’s not as fun to drive as a Ford Fiesta, the Micra offers better value and more interior space. It’s also better equipped and cheaper to run than the Vauxhall Corsa. Popular with young and first time drivers, the Micra has won the FirstCar Car of the Year award twice.
