Used Nissan Micra in Dubai

The Micra is the smallest car Nissan sold here, and for most of a decade it was the cheapest new car with a proper badge on it. That is why a used Nissan Micra is where so many first cars, second cars and delivery runabouts in Dubai begin, and why a second hand Nissan Micra rarely sits unsold for long. Every Micra sold in the GCC was the same basic car: a five door hatchback with a 1.5 litre four cylinder petrol engine, a four speed automatic in almost every case, front wheel drive and a cabin that fits four adults if two of them are patient. It was built for hot countries and its air conditioning was sized accordingly.

The trims were S, SV and SL. The S is the basic car with steel wheels and manual windows on the earliest examples. The SV adds the equipment most people want, and the SL is the full specification with alloy wheels, a touchscreen and the better seat trim. A used Nissan Micra Dubai listing will usually be an SV, because that is the version the agency and the fleets bought most of, and the model years run from the early cars of the last decade to the final 2020 examples.

Nissan Micra price in UAE and what a used one should cost

The Nissan Micra price in UAE listings is set by three things: the year, the distance covered, and whether the car was privately owned or came out of a fleet. Whatever the heading above says is the cheapest Micra listed right now, and it changes weekly, so use it as the low end of the range. The used Nissan Micra price sits below every rival of the same age, which is the whole reason to look at one.

Within the range, a 2019 or 2020 SV or SL with modest distance and a private history sits at the top. An early car with six figure mileage and a fleet history sits at the bottom, and it is still a running, insurable, cheap to fix car, which is why the bottom of this market clears fast. A Nissan Micra 2020 with low distance is the one that holds its value and the one with the best resale, and the Nissan Micra 2020 price in UAE listings reflects that.

What a Micra is like to live with in Dubai

It is a city car, and Dubai is where it makes sense. It parks in spaces a saloon cannot, it sips fuel in traffic, insurance is about as cheap as car insurance gets here, and the parts are stocked everywhere because so many were sold. The four speed automatic is old fashioned and it makes the engine work hard on the motorway, so a Micra is at its best inside the city and adequate on the road to Abu Dhabi rather than relaxed.

The things people notice after a month are the small ones. The boot takes a week's shopping and not much more, the rear seat is upright, and road noise rises with speed. Against that, a Micra automatic that has been serviced on time simply keeps going, which is why Micra cars outlast most of their rivals here, and the highest mileage cars listed on OneClickDrive are usually ex fleet cars that were serviced more regularly than most private cars ever are.

Why buy a used Nissan Micra with OneClickDrive

A Micra is the kind of car where the seller's own price is the one you want to see, and here it is, because OneClickDrive charges nothing to the buyer and nothing to the seller. Every listing carries the name of the private owner or the showroom, and you contact them yourself. On a car that costs what a Micra costs, cutting out the middle step is worth a real amount.

The listing also tells you whether the car has an inspection report behind it, whether any warranty remains, and what the estimated EMI would be each month if you borrowed. Applications for finance go through our Emirates NBD arrangement and are usually answered inside 24 hours for buyers who meet the bank's eligibility rules. Selling the car later is free for a private seller and there is no commission on the resale either.

Where to find a Micra for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

Three groups sell Micras here. Independent dealers in Al Aweer and Ras Al Khor carry most of the second hand Micra supply, often ex fleet cars bought in batches, and that is where a Nissan Micra used Dubai wide as a delivery car ends up. Private sellers list the cars that were bought new and driven gently, and those are the ones worth a little more. The agency's used stock is small on a model this old but worth a look for a late SL with the factory cover still running.

Every used Nissan Micra for sale in UAE that our sellers hold sits on one page with the year, the trim, the distance and photographs of the actual car, and the Sharjah and Abu Dhabi cars appear alongside the Dubai ones with the emirate shown on each. A Micra for sale in UAE listings outside Dubai is often a private car at a keener price, and the drive to collect is under an hour. The used Nissan Micra for sale in Dubai list is the deepest, a used Micra for sale from a private owner is the one worth viewing first, and a Micra for sale Dubai side is rarely more than a short drive away.

If the Micra is too small, the same sellers list the Nissan Sunny, which is the saloon most Micra buyers step up to, and the cars people cross shop against it, the Kia Picanto, the Hyundai Grand i10, the Suzuki Swift and the Toyota Yaris, each have their own page.

What to check on a second hand Nissan Micra

Find out where the car came from before you look at the car.

• A fleet car has usually been serviced on schedule and driven hard, a private car has usually been driven gently and serviced when the owner remembered, and the two age differently.
• Read the chassis number off the Mulkiya and run the history against it for accident repairs and any registered finance, because a Nissan Micra used as a fleet car may have a claim on its record, and confirm the car is GCC specification, which on a Micra sold here it almost always is. Set the odometer against the service history.
• A used car Micra buyers pass over because of a high reading is often the better car if the book shows an oil change every ten thousand kilometres, and a low reading with no book is the one to be careful of.
• Ask how many keys come with it, because a second key on this model is more expensive than people expect.
• On the drive, let the four speed automatic shift up and down through every gear from cold, because a hesitant or slurring shift is the one expensive fault this car can have.
• Run the air conditioning on full while stationary and again at speed.
• Check every window and lock, the rear wiper, the tyres for matching brands and date codes, and the front bumper and bonnet for the stone chips and small dents a city car collects.
• Look under the carpets for damp if the car has ever had a windscreen replaced.
• If no inspection report comes with the listing, book one at an RTA centre or an approved garage before you hand over a deposit, and ask for the result in writing.
• Set against the price of the car the inspection is nearly nothing, and it is what tells a Micra that costs you nothing for two years from one that costs you a gearbox.

Finance, EMI and buying a used Micra with no down payment

A first car is often the first loan, and a Micra is about the cheapest thing a bank will lend on. Two rules decide it. The bank wants a salary certificate and a few months of statements, and it wants the car to be young enough at the end of the term, which rules out the older fleet cars. Get the approval from Emirates NBD before you go looking, because sellers of cheap cars do not hold a car for a week while paperwork catches up. The EMI shown on each listing is an estimate, useful for comparing two cars, and the bank's offer replaces it.

A dealer can sometimes remove the down payment altogether through a bank it works with, on selected cars, and you will not see that on the advert. Ask for it and have the terms written down. No private seller can offer it, and it is not available on a car bought for export because there is no lender involved.

Paperwork to transfer a used Micra into your name

If this is your first car in the UAE, you need a traffic file opened at the RTA before anything else, which takes a few minutes with your Emirates ID.

• After that the transfer is straightforward. Bring the original Mulkiya, both parties' identification and an insurance policy in your name, and make sure the seller has cleared the fines before the appointment.
• An older Micra may be due its annual test, and the car has to pass that before the RTA will move it.
• Cheap cars rarely carry finance, but the late ones sometimes do.
• In that case the seller's bank puts the balance in a liability letter, the balance gets settled, and a clearance certificate is issued before the transfer can go ahead.
• Ask about it at the first conversation so it does not stall the day.
