NISSAN MICRA Common
As of 2026 Q2, 259,504 NISSAN MICRAs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 453,936 in 2014 Q3 — only 57% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 194,432 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 14,796 a year (5.7% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2038 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
