Nikon mirrorless camera? Cheap-ish

To start, I'm a noob when it comes to cameras.

I pulled out my old D3200 today to take some pics of my son and I realised that I'd like to do so more often, but it's a bit bulky for me nowadays. Was thinking it might be nice to get a cheap second hand mirrorless that will take my lenses which would be more fun to whip out when I need it.

A quick google found me a Nikon 1 J5 that I like the look of, but as said I have no idea.

My main question other than is it good for what I want is I have a AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D lens which I love but when I purchased it I didn't realise that the auto focus wouldn't work with the D3200, do mirrorless cameras have the motor to drive lenses without one or not?

I know I could get the alternate 50mm with built in motor, but I don't want to be splashing out too much right now.

Thanks in advance.
