Thoroughly inspect the CVT transmission for any signs of slipping, shuddering, or delayed engagement. A pre-purchase inspection by a Nissan specialist is highly recommended.
Check the service history for regular CVT fluid changes (every 60,000-90,000 km) as this significantly extends its life.
Listen for any rattling noises from the engine, especially on cold start, which could indicate timing chain wear.
Verify if the steering column lock (ESCL) recall was performed or if the module has been replaced, particularly for 2007-2009 models.
Inspect for rust underneath the vehicle and around wheel arches, especially if the car spent time in regions with road salt.
Consider the 3.5L V6 if performance is a priority and you're comfortable with slightly higher fuel consumption, as its CVT tends to be more robust due to different gearing.
