30 years of the Nissan Micra

Author/Source: Kim Henson

16th May 2013

nissan micra smallCan you believe it? Surely it can’t already be 30 years since the Nissan Micra was launched in the U.K?

Well, it is. Throughout four generations, the model has been known and liked for its dependability and low running costs.

To help celebrate three decades of the model, Nissan has introduced a range of special ‘30’ themed offers for owners… So, for all Micra drivers with more than three years of ownership, MoT tests cost £30, and Nissan are cutting the cost of wiper blades, tyres, brake pads and batteries, by 30 per cent.

For more details please contact your local Nissan dealer.

There’s another thing too… Nissan U.K. is trying to track down the oldest surviving Micra. If you think YOU might own this vehicle, or know someone else who does, please let us know and we’ll pass on the information to Nissan.
