hey Nissan make a good car only up the road from me lol, 29k miles with a service history is cool no immediate problems I would think just have a good look round for excessive wear where it should be like the pedals and steering wheel

The only thing I could think of that might crap out is the fuel pump. I think there was a recall on them for B6's.

the UK is famous for clocking cars and as its a 2002 I would be suspicious, without a service history you need qualified information and that's a cost but worth it

10k per year would seem ok though to an easy user like me

it should still be under warranty for a while also, so anything major that craps out soon after you get it should get fixed for free anyway
