At our previous house, built 1987, the garage would hold my
family-sized Primera estate and my wife's Micra.

Adequate, but barely.

I remember viewing a 1930's house where the garage door was visibly
narrower than the estate agent's Audi TT. Had probably been built for
something about the size of an original mini, like an Austin 7.
modern cars are far too big these days...

It is the width that is generally a problem, but that is dictated by
having much thicker doors to make them safer in side impacts.
