OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Kavo EEM-10122

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan Micra (K14 2017-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine Mount — Rear lower (aftermarket)	Kavo EEM-10122
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

A Genuinely Useful, Free Diagnostic Technique Worth Trying — Nissan Micra Engine Mount

With the engine off and appropriate care taken, you can often physically check for excessive play by attempting to move the engine by hand at accessible points — genuine, noticeable movement beyond a small amount of expected give indicates a worn mount. One documented case on a related model found the top mount had degraded to the point the engine could be moved by hand quite easily, confirming the diagnosis directly.

Genuinely worth knowing before assuming one repair fixes everything: different mounts can cause distinctly different symptoms, and fixing one doesn't necessarily fix all. One documented case replaced the top mount, which resolved vibration at idle completely, but a separate clunk specifically on and off the throttle persisted afterward, eventually traced to a completely different, badly worn gearbox mount that needed replacing separately.

It's also worth knowing that a genuine on/off-throttle "thump" or sudden takeup, distinct from a smooth judder, has been linked to a worn engine steady bar (torque strut) specifically — a component that controls engine rock under load and is worth checking alongside the more obvious mounts if this specific symptom pattern matches what you're experiencing.

Nissan Micra Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the Micra use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
