Nissan almera carvan, information needed

coronaextra

Hi there, I was thinking of buying a nissan almera car van. Dont know too much about these cars.
They have a 2.2l diesel, what are these like on juice?
Is there any common faults on them and do they take kindly to high miles?
Thinking of buying an 01-03 one.

Any info really appreciated. Thanks.

rust around the bottom of the front panel and at the back of the sills just in front of the rear wheel arches, never had much dealings with the 2.2 as far as I know it was the same engine that was in the primera they were thirsty enough from what I heard

I would be doing a lot of miles,
so was hoping it would be a bit more economical! I know they are a pretty powerful lump.

Here is an example of one I was looking at: http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/commercials/1891560

Mate of mine has a 2004 one great van nice and nippy, reliable too have heard dat the gearboxes can give a bit of trouble so just be wise to that if your viewing potential cars

Most of the Almera vans were 115bhp afaik. It is rare to find a 136bhp version.

Thanks for the replies,
I will keep on the lookout for some more examples.
Does anybody have any miles per gallon figures for these vans dont want to buy it if its too thirsty.
