Used Nissan Micra Radiator

The Nissan Micra has run through several well-established UK generations: K11 (1992–2002), K12 (2003–2010), K13 (2011–2017), and K14 (2017–present). Year matters because each generation uses a different radiator design, and even within a generation there can be running changes, so always quote your full registration or engine code to the breaker rather than year alone.

A 2009 Micra is a K12 and a 2011 Micra is a K13 — these are different generations with different engine bays, so the radiators are not the same part. The K12-to-K13 boundary is a hard cut, so confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain you're being quoted the right unit.

Body style does not affect radiator fitment — the radiator follows the engine, not the number of doors. Give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) and they can match the correct unit regardless of which body style you have.

Trim level does not determine radiator fitment on the Micra; Visia, Acenta, and Tekna are specification packages rather than mechanically distinct variants. What actually matters is your engine code and fuel type, so supply those to the breaker and trim is irrelevant to the search.

The engine code is the most important detail because even within the K13 generation there were different 1.2 petrol units, and gearbox type (manual versus CVT automatic) can also influence the radiator spec due to cooler integration. Pull the engine code from your V5C or a VIN check and give it to the breaker so they can confirm the correct match for your specific build.

Fuel type affects the radiator specification, and a diesel unit is unlikely to be a straightforward swap into a petrol car due to differences in cooling requirements and potentially in ancillary connections. Always tell the breaker both your fuel type and engine code to make sure you're quoted a like-for-like replacement.
