Many many people, there is a whole thread about it and you could probably even go and look up the report BBCs watchdog did on the problem.

It’s sounds to me more like you are trying to talk yourself out of buying the car, if you’re having all these doubts then maybe you’re better off getting something else. Almost every car will have a horror story and almost every car will have a list as long as your arm of common faults.

Youve specifically asked about a car in the 11 to 15 years in service bracket

With 15k a year to cover.. you need it on the road and working

Do let us know which colour Nissan Micra you buy
