A used axle that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Both years fall within the third-generation Micra (K12), which ran from 2003 to 2010, so the running gear is broadly from the same family. That said, confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker, as mid-generation changes can affect exact fitment. Never assume a swap will work without that check.
The K11 (1992–2002) and K12 (2003–2010) are entirely different generations with different underpinnings, so their axles are not the same. You should source a unit from the matching generation for your car, and confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
The K12 generation ran from 2003 to 2010 and received a facelift in 2007, but the facelift was primarily cosmetic rather than a structural overhaul. Whether the pre-facelift and post-facelift axles interchange directly is a boundary you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as subtle running-gear updates can occur across a facelift year without being widely documented.
Engine size can influence braking and drivetrain components, so axles from different engine variants are not automatically interchangeable even within the same generation. Confirm the exact engine size of the donor vehicle with the breaker and match it to yours to avoid compatibility issues.
On the Micra, trim levels like S, SE, and Acenta relate to interior specification and equipment rather than changes to the axle or running gear, so trim alone does not determine fitment. What matters is the generation and engine size; just be aware that cosmetic details on stripped parts may differ between trim levels, and confirm the part against your registration with the breaker as a final check.
The K13 generation (2010–2017) replaced the K12 (2003–2010) and the two are based on different platforms, so their axles are not interchangeable. Always source from the correct generation and confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
