Nissan nv200

[Paul117]

About to go out alone and looking at getting a Nissan nv200. Anyone have any experience with them. Opinions appreciated.

Never seen one, they must be a new model?

I got hit by one once, it bloody hurt. Does that count?

 

[Paul117]

They have been around a couple of years. 1.5l 55mpg claimed. Cheap as chips to run, trying To keep overheads to the minimum

Just had a look and they look like a good van, nissan are a bit hit and miss with reliabilty but generally quite good, 55mpg eh? My van wouldn't get that coasting downhill with the engine turned off

i've got a nissan vanette, 2001. 2.3D. my second one. dead reliable. economical. the NV200 is the latest model. van of the year in , i think, 2010.

Beings as they've been out a few years it would be worthwhile searching google for an hour or two to see if there are any common problems yet

The old nissans like tells go on and on and on, I know a bloke with one with 300k on the clock, they are dead slow mind and rear wheel drive, when they do break parts are dear. My choice for eco van would be an old combo 1.3cdti, mine would get 45mpg with foot flat to floor all the time.

I will agree with that! The engine doesn't turn fast enough to cause any wear nigels had done 250,000 when he sold it and it was in perfect order, always started first time and always got you where you needed to go, just a few hours late

As someone once told me about non turbo diesels, "They don't accelerate, they just Attain speed"

Got one had it two years can get loads in the back had no problems

110bhp or 89bhp. Is it really that slow? I mainly do town work and not a speed demon.

 

[geordie]

89 and it's not bad for speed and good on fuel get around 650 on a tank

 

[Paul117]

Looks like the way forward.

Sorry paul we went off on a tangent talking about the old Nissan vanettes, the 89/110 sound pretty reasonable

 

[Paul117]

Anybody else have a suggestion for a van around the 8k inc VAT mark?

 

[tommy.dale]

Got a 61 plate had it from brand new can't wait to get rid hate the thing it is the worst van I have had, I've driven transits traffics connects and astras and I can say That if ur around my height of 6ft 2 the ache in your knees wil get unbearable after A while! Just my opinion tho
