NISSAN Micra Micra Acenta Auto

With just 49,500 miles on the clock, this 2008 Nissan Micra Acenta presents a rare find for anyone seeking a low-mileage automatic hatchback. The standout feature here is undoubtedly the MOT validity, which runs until October 2026. That provides nearly two years of driving without the need for an annual test, offering significant convenience and cost savings from day one. Having had three previous owners, this five-door model in grey offers a straightforward ownership history for a car of this age. Under the bonnet sits a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 79.1 bhp, paired with an automatic transmission that makes city driving and stop-start traffic much less demanding. While the top speed is listed at 90 mph, the real benefit of this powertrain is its ease of use rather than outright performance. The four-speed automatic gearbox takes the effort out of commuting, allowing you to focus on the road ahead. As a Euro 4 vehicle with CO2 emissions of 159 g/km, it does not meet the Euro 6 standard required for ULEZ compliance, so this is something to consider if you regularly drive within London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone. However, for general urban use outside these zones, the compact dimensions and light steering make it exceptionally easy to park and manoeuvre. The five-door body style ensures practical access to the rear seats, making it a viable option for small families or carrying passengers, with seating for five. The Acenta trim level typically adds a touch more refinement over the base models, though specific interior features aren't detailed here. With just one key supplied, it is advisable to factor in the cost of a spare if desired. Overall, this Micra combines very low mileage for its year with an unusually long MOT period, creating a package that minimises immediate upkeep worries. It is a sensible, straightforward choice for those prioritising convenience and verified mileage over the latest emissions credentials.
