Nissan Primastar.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Nissan Primastar is a mid-size panel van that served tradespeople and fleet operators from 2001 to 2014. Built on the same platform as the Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro, it offers practical load space and reasonable running costs. As a used buy, the Primastar can be a solid workhorse, but age-related issues are common across the range. Buyers should pay close attention to service history and examine higher-mileage examples carefully.
