Used Nissan Micra Oil Pump

Yes, all petrol and diesel Nissan Micra engines use a conventional oil pump to pressurise the lubrication system, so this is a standard part you will find at UK breakers. Every generation of the Micra from the K10 through to the current K14 uses one, driven off the crankshaft. Because the pump is internal to the engine and engineered around the specific block, matching it to your exact engine code is essential before buying.

Almost certainly not without careful checking, because these years sit in different generations — the K12 ran from 2003 to 2010, while the K13 began in 2010 and ran to around 2017, and the two use entirely different engine families. Even where a fuel type looks the same on paper, the block architecture changed at that generation boundary, so the oil pump internals and mounting are unlikely to be interchangeable. Give the breaker your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check, and they can confirm compatibility against the donor vehicle.

Yes — the engine code is the single most useful detail you can supply, because Nissan fitted different engines to the same model year depending on market and specification, and the oil pump is machined to suit the specific block it came from. Two Micras registered in the same year could carry different engines and therefore need different pumps. Look for the engine code on your V5C or ask for a VIN check, then quote it directly to the breaker.

No — trim level has no effect on oil pump fitment whatsoever. The Visia, Acenta, Tekna, and any other Micra trim grade all share the same engine and therefore the same oil pump for a given engine code. Trim differences relate to interior specification, alloy wheels, and equipment levels, none of which affect the lubrication system. Match on engine code and fuel type, and the trim badge can be ignored entirely.

No — petrol and diesel engines have different block designs, different oil pump geometry, and different pressure requirements, so a diesel pump will not be a like-for-like replacement for a petrol unit even within the same generation. Always filter your search by fuel type as well as engine code to make sure the donor vehicle matches your car. Tell the breaker both details upfront and they will pull from the correct dismantled vehicle.

The K12 generation ran from 2003 to 2010 as a single platform, so there is a reasonable chance of overlap, but Nissan did make running production changes during that span and ancillary component specifications can vary within a generation. The safest approach is to quote your full engine code to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference it against the specific donor vehicle rather than assuming all K12 pumps are identical. A good breaker will be able to confirm whether the part numbers align before you commit.
