Is a high mileage Nissan Micra ok?

Is 80,000 miles and €3,400 high for a Nissan Micra? I need a new car and can't afford to be let down or pay for expensive repairs.

Hi Nicola,

It depends on the year, but judging by the price tag, you're not looking at the newer end of the scale, so I'd say that starts to look like a good price for that mileage. 

As for reliability, you shouldn't have any problems. Micras are tough as old boots. Just make sure there's some history with the car and that it's been regularly serviced.
