1.8 SE 5dr 2000 Owned it since it was a 1 year old. Driven mostly on motorways for daily commute . Never thrashed and Dealer serviced most of its life. Well specified, very large boot space for luggage when you have to pick up family from the airport. Positive drive/steering if you put decent tyres on it. Yet at 80,000 miles it is basically ready for scrapping. Timing chain stretched , cam sensor failed, air bag warning lights continually coming on, air-conditioning failed , cv joints and abs problems. The list goes on I won’t bore you. I used to different Nissan Main dealers for servicing, a complete waste of money. I would now always go to a good independent garage. By comparison my Ford Sierra 1.8 LX done 157000 before it died and still managed to drive its final journey to the scrap yard.
