Buying advice - 2010 Nissan Micra Visia

[bogdanb]

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for all the helpful information on this forum. While I am a Honda Civic driver myself, my girlfriend is looking at buying a cheap daily runner and we've come across this 2010 Nissan Micra Visia. I've always liked these, despite not knowing a lot about them, and I'm going to see it on Monday.
I was wondering if any of you could give me some general tips in terms of what to look at. The car looks alright in the pictures, has a bit over 101k miles and hasn't had anything significant in terms of MOT history. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Read the Good/Bad faults & repeat problems list for the 2010 K13 Micra below & you will know more about its documented evidence based owners experiences than most on here?

Can they make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear or a k13 fly when manufactured in India?

Good luck.

Thanks! It's actually a k12 from 2010. I've looked at honest John for it, but thought maybe there was something else.

Check the underside, fuel filler tube and neck for rust; engine bay also.
