Nissan Micra Sump Replacement Parts

The engine code is the single most important detail for sump fitment — it tells a breaker exactly which unit your car has, far more reliably than the year or trim level alone. You'll find it on your V5C logbook or through a VIN check. Give this code to the breaker when requesting a quote and they can match it precisely. Year and fuel type are useful supporting details, but the engine code comes first.

The K11 ran from 1992 to 2002 and the K12 from 2003 to 2010, and these are entirely different generations with different engines, so a sump from one will not fit the other. Even where engine displacements look similar on paper, the block architecture changed between generations. Always confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code. Do not assume cross-generation compatibility.

Yes, both a 2006 and a 2010 Micra fall within the K12 generation (2003–2010), so they share the same broad platform, but sump fitment still depends on matching engine codes rather than model year alone. The K12 received a facelift in 2007, and while major drivetrain components were carried over, ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production. Confirm the engine codes on both cars match before proceeding, and verify the specifics with the breaker against your registration. Matching engine codes within the same generation is a strong starting point.

The K13 replaced the K12 from 2010 onwards and introduced new engine families, so a sump from a K12 is very unlikely to be compatible with a K13. These are separate generations with different block designs. Confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration and engine code rather than going on generation alone. Crossing that 2010 generation boundary is a known compatibility break for mechanical components like sumps.

Trim level makes no difference to sump fitment on the Micra — trims like Visia, Acenta, and Tekna are specification packages covering interior and comfort features, not mechanical changes. What matters is the engine code, which can be shared across all trim levels in the same model year. A sump from an Acenta will fit a Tekna if they carry the same engine code. You may find cosmetic differences around the engine bay trim panels, but the sump itself is a purely mechanical part unaffected by trim.

Give the breaker your engine code (from your V5C or a VIN check), your registration number, the model year, and whether the car is petrol or diesel. The engine code is the most critical piece of information and will allow the breaker to cross-reference their stock accurately. Gearbox type (manual or automatic) can also be relevant as it may affect sump shape or capacity in some applications. Never confirm a purchase on year alone — engine code matching is essential for a mechanical part like a sump.
