Why is my Nissan Micra's engine making a ticking noise?

I noticed that my Nissan Micra's engine is making a ticking noise while idling. I'm not sure what could be causing this. Could it be a sign of a bigger issue?

It's possible that your engine is low on oil. Check the oil level and top off if necessary.

The ticking noise could also be caused by a faulty valve. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

Have you recently had your oil changed? Sometimes the wrong type of oil can cause engine ticking. Double check with your mechanic to make sure the correct oil was used.
