    How old is the Micra, and how much you looking to buy it for?

    If you're spending a lot on it then a check probably makes sense; if it's an old banger then you'd probably be better off taking a friend who knows something about cars to look it over and also checking that it has a decent service history. Japanese cars generally seem to run forever if they're serviced properly.
