Are there any common issues with the Nissan Micra's engine?

I recently bought a used Nissan Micra and I am worried about potential engine problems. Are there any common issues that I should be aware of?

Yes, there have been reports of some Nissan Micra models having issues with their timing belts. It is important to get this checked and replaced regularly as it can cause serious damage to the engine if it fails.

Another common issue is with the starter motor. Some owners have experienced problems with the car not starting or taking several tries to start. This can be costly to fix, so it is important to have it looked at if you experience any similar issues.

One issue that can be easily prevented is the buildup of rust on the fuel tank. This can cause major damage if left untreated, so it is important to regularly check and clean the fuel tank and surrounding areas.
