Used Nissan cars: body styles, years and models

Sedans lead the body styles listed here

Sedan is the most listed body type, followed by SUV and hatchback. Most listings specify automatic gearboxes, and petrol also dominates the fuel mix. The model years span a wide range of older and recent cars. Treat these as an overview of the stock; check the gearbox and fuel stated in each advert before adding the car to your shortlist.

Keep the trim in view when comparing years

Choose cars close in model year for your first price comparison. Ask each seller for the exact trim and which features are fitted, then decide which of those features you would actually use. If a newer car has caught your eye, read its asking price alongside the mileage and ask for its maintenance records before judging the difference. Leave room in your budget for an independent inspection and any work it identifies.

A shortlist across Juke, Sunny, Sentra and Qashqai

Juke, Sunny, Sentra and Qashqai are the most listed models here, in that order. Keep your comparisons specific to the cars advertised: confirm each car's gearbox and fuel type rather than applying the overall mix to a model. At a viewing, try your usual seating position and check the space you need for passengers or luggage. If you are wondering whether a particular car is a good buy, weigh the seller's asking price against its inspection findings and your own needs before making an offer.
