Is the micra tested?, I think a toyota yaris is a good step up from the micra, great cars, Micras are good sellers and prob best to sell it on private yourself and approach a dealer with cash.
Scrappage only works if she is buying a new car.
What part of the country are you in?

in dublin ,yea its tested until june its a grand little car runs great ,one or two small things not great like the windows dont roll down on one side ,few dents in bodywork ,it is 12 years old and the wife drove it

Micra is still worth a few hundred to someone starting off, advertise it for 500 ono and see how it goes.
What do you think of the yaris, you and the wife should visit a few dealers and check out a yaris or 2.
I am not in Dublin so I have no idea where you should go.
One thing I will say is your money will go futher if you buy private and you will have a better selection to choose from.
