Nissan Micra, 2006, Kaarina

Nissan Micra 1.2, year 2006 – former driving school car, so it even has a brake pedal for the passenger! 😂 MOT valid until 17 August 2026!

Here we have a car where the passenger can actually intervene in the driving.

This is a 2006 Nissan Micra with a 1.2 petrol engine and a respectable 297,000 km on the clock. This particular car has previously served as a driving school car, and still has the extra pedal on the passenger side as a reminder of that.

So it is the perfect car, for example, if someone in the family is learning to drive and your own nerves are not quite enough for shouting at the handbrake alone. 😅 The driving permit paperwork is of course in order, and then it is just:
“clutch… ACCELERATE… NOT THAT MUCH ACCELERATION!”

Of course, in 2026 the Micra is not trying to pretend it is a new car. The exterior shows life, mileage and Finnish winters. There is rust in the rear arches, signs of use on the wheels, and one mirror has received a bit of creative Finnish engineering care over the years. But in this price range, the most important thing is not how the car looks on Instagram, but whether it gets from point A to point B – and this one has certainly practised that many times already.

Among the positives are e.g.:

• 1.2 petrol engine, 65 hp – you are not going to lose your licence by accident in the first acceleration

• former driving school car

• extra pedal on the passenger side

• manual air conditioning

• Northern / cold climate equipment

• electric windows

• ABS

• radio + CD player – for Spotify you will need some creativity

• two keys

• two sets of tyres

• MOT inspected on 17 August 2026

• five doors, so the whole family can come along to watch the lesson

This is not a museum piece or a Sunday car. This is an honest 20-year-old Micra with almost 300,000 km of life experience and probably more driving lessons behind it than the average Finnish driving instructor.

So if you are looking for a cheap everyday car, a first car, or want to teach a child to drive in a car where you also have the final say on braking, this could be a very suitable example.

Nissan Micra – 297,000 km, two pedal positions and at least one good story for the next owner. 😂
