Since its introduction to the UK in 1983, the Nissan Micra has been a common sight on UK roads. The supermini’s popularity is mainly due to its reliability and economy, with the German Auto Association having named the very first iteration of the Micra (K10) the most reliable car available.
The K11 version received a facelift and won the coveted European Car of the Year Award in 1993, whilst the K12 set a new standard in the supermini segment with its roomy inside and wider wheelbase.
The most recent version of the Micra, the K13, was revealed in 2010 and appeals to drivers across the spectrum - especially those concerned with safety as the K13 won 4 out of five stars in the NCAP Safety Awards.
The K13 also keeps up with modern trends, offering 3D maps, traffic updates, and even hands-free communication with Nissan Connect.
Insurance companies assign a ‘insurance group’ number to every model and variant of car available in the UK. The insurance group number helps determine the cost of an annual insurance policy for any given car, with higher group numbers attracting more expensive policies, and lower group numbers being cheaper to insure.
The Nissan Micra falls into groups 1 to 11, making it a cheap car to insure in relative terms.
The cost of insuring your Nissan Micra can vary significantly depending on factors such as your age, driving history, and location. Below is an example of average insurance quotes for a 30-year-old with a clean record, looking to insure a Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta 5d in different locations across the UK:
Location | Annual Insurance Cost* |
London (E10) | £798.68 (High) |
Chester (CH1) | £505.18 (Mid-range) |
Newquay (TR8) | £363.34 (Low) |
*The figures above are based on quotes from the Finder UK website, assuming the driver has no existing convictions or health issues. The actual cost of insurance may vary based on a number of factors: your driving record, age, car model, engine size, postcode, and the level of coverage you require. Please note these are indicative quotes only and should not be considered as guaranteed premiums. Your actual premium will depend on your individual circumstances.
The Nissan Micra has come in many variants and trims over the last four decades, so there’s a whole range of models that you can pick up second-hand. However, if you’re looking to buy brand new, the following models are available from the manufacturer directly at present:
Nissan Micra Visia+ (starting from £14,500)
Nissan Micra Acenta (starting from £15,640)
Nissan Micra N-Sport (starting from £17,810)
Nissan Micra Tekna (starting from £18,465)
As the Nissan Micra falls into fairly low insurance groups (1-11) it costs less to insure on average than many other models. However, that’s not to say you couldn’t still save money on your annual premium for your Nissan Micra.
