Why Should I Scrap My Nissan?
There are many reasons as to why you should scrap your Nissan. One of the main reasons is that scrapping your old vehicle will give you some budget to put towards a brand-new model that’s more reliable and trustworthy.
Another reason may be that your vehicle has recently failed its MOT, or you cannot afford to continue paying out for it to be fixed when something keeps going wrong with it. These little payments will soon mount up, so it’s time to give us a call for a free, no obligation scrap car quote. Perhaps your Nissan is covered in rust has been sat on your drive for.
Scrap My Nissan Micra
First sold on the Japanese market in 2002, the Nissan Micra K12 made its way to Europe in 2003. Completely redesigned from its predecessors, the K10 and K11, the wheelbase was 70mm longer, and the exterior much curvier. Overall, the vehicle was both taller and wider, and its most defining feature was the unmistakeable headlamps that extend all the way up to its wing tops.
The K12 remains one of the most popular ‘budget’ cars that Nissan has produced, and many people still hang on to these old models as their favourite vehicles. It is easy to see why this car is the darling of the Micra range.
Here are some of the pros and cons of this reliable hatchback.
1. Safety
Nissan claimed that safety was the first priority of this car, including the following safety features:
- Airbags in the driver and passenger seat
- Petrol engines with unburstable chain-cam 16V engines
- ABS with electronic break force assistance, combined with the Nissan Brake Assist. A word of warning though, these breaks are extremely strong and can bring you to a complete dead stop, so drivers have to mindful of those around them.
2. Storage
For such a small car, the K12 has ample storage space in its interior. The rear seat slides back and lies down, providing either leg space or storage space. There is a removable bin under the passenger seat to store miscellaneous items, and a big compartmentalised glove box for the rest of your stuff.
3. Driving
The car itself drives relatively well, with a tight turning circle and easy handling.
The top speed for the 1.2 is 95 mph and it has a fuel consumption of 48.7 mpg, which makes it relatively economical.
4. Problems
The biggest problems with the K12 have been a stretched timing chain, which can cost around £1,600 to replace, and there have been malfunctions with the intelligent keys.
Both of these problems are relatively avoidable if the car is serviced regularly, about every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, once these problems have started to surface it becomes very expensive and relatively unlikely that the K12 will ever run like new again. Therefore many of these cars are starting to be scrapped.
If you own a Nissan Micra K12 and it’s now experiencing problems with the above issues or any other reoccurring faults, it may be time to consider scrapping your beloved motor. Give Scrap Car Kings a call today and we will give you a quote for your vehicle and will make the scrapping process hassle-free, leaving you with more time and money to find a replacement vehicle.

A scrap car removal service removes unwanted vehicles for recycling. The registration of the car must be surrendered to the recycler in order to cancel the vehicle tax.
Direct Debits for car tax will be automatically cancelled by the DVLA, and any months remaining on the tax will be refunded. A check will be issued and made out to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
In the case that you own the vehicle but you are not the registered keeper, you can write or contact the DVLA with proof of your ownership, such as a bill of sale.
Please include your name, address, and registration number. Additionally, be sure to mention that you want the car tax refund sent to your address.
Once our collector has inspected the vehicle and confirm that it is as the seller has claimed, they will then proceed to make payment.
This helps to protect both parties from any complications and is line with our network terms. Our collector also needs to check the vehicle is as the seller has claimed to confirm it’s worth the full value of the quote.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for choosing our service.
If you have lost the keys to your car, don’t worry – we can still scrap it for you. Just leave it to us and when we contact you to confirm your details, please let us know if there are any obstructions or height restrictions that could make it difficult to recover. You can sell your car for scrap without the keys, but you will need to provide us with paperwork proving vehicle ownership and there may be deductions from your final payment for any inconvenience and extra work for the scrap dealer who collects it. Thanks for choosing Scrap My Car!

We will also give you a certificate of destruction. only authorised centres are able to provide this. The certificate provides evidence the vehicle has been taken off of the road and scrapped.
Without this document you could potentially still be liable for insurance or road tax. We are an authorised centre and can provide you with the certificate of destruction for your vehicle.
If you don’t have a registration certificate, you can still contact the DVLA to let them know your car has been scrapped.
Make sure to give the full details of the scrap yard or recycling center, as well as the car details including registration, make, model, and date of sale.
The DVLA will need this information in order to remove the vehicle from their records and avoid any penalties for unlicensed vehicles.
By law, all scrap yards and recycling centers must be licensed by the Environment Agency, so you can be confident that it will be disposed of safely and responsibly.

In either case, we will need some basic information from you in order to properly process the transaction and ensure that everything is handled correctly.
