Used Nissan Micra Door Hinge

The Nissan Micra went through distinct generations — the K11 (1992–2002), K12 (2003–2010), K13 (2010–2016), and K14 (2017 onwards) — and door hinges are not shared across these generations as the body shells are completely different. You must match the hinge to the correct generation, so always tell the breaker which generation yours is or quote your registration so they can confirm. Buying a hinge from the wrong generation is very unlikely to fit correctly.

Yes, this matters for the front doors — on 3-door Micras the front door is longer to allow rear passenger access, so the hinges are positioned differently compared to those on a 5-door model's shorter front door. Rear door hinges only exist on the 5-door body, so make sure you specify 3-door or 5-door when contacting a breaker. Always state which door position you need (front or rear) alongside the body style.

Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Micra — the hinge is part of the body structure and is the same across Visia, Acenta, Tekna, and N-Sport trims within the same generation and body style. What can differ between trims is cosmetic finish or colour, but that has no bearing on whether the hinge physically fits. Confirm the generation, body style (3dr or 5dr), and NS or OS side, and trim level can be disregarded.

This sits right on the boundary between the K12 generation (2003–2010) and the K13 generation (2010–2016), and because 2010 saw both models on sale, your car could be either generation depending on exactly when it was built and registered. The body shells are different between K12 and K13, so a hinge from the wrong generation will not fit — you should confirm your exact generation with the breaker using your registration before ordering.

Yes, door hinges are side-specific: the nearside (NS, passenger/left side) and offside (OS, driver/right side) hinges are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker clearly whether you need NS or OS, along with whether it is a front or rear hinge and your Micra's generation and body style. Getting the side wrong means the hinge will not align correctly with your door and body pillar.

Engine type has no effect on door hinge fitment — the hinge is part of the body structure and is identical across petrol and mild-hybrid variants within the same generation and body style. Whether your Micra has a 1.0-litre, 1.2-litre, or any other engine fitted to that generation makes no difference to which hinge you need. Focus on matching the generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and NS or OS side instead.
