Nissan capped price servicing - cost, schedule & info

Nissan offers a capped-price servicing program for all of its current models.
According to the Japanese brand, Nissan Capped Price Service gives you the confidence of knowing that your vehicle is being serviced by "factory-trained technicians using only Nissan Genuine Parts".
Nissan covers its vehicles for a total of six years, no matter if it's a Juke small SUV, diesel Navara ute or V8 petrol Patrol 4WD. The costs change depending on the model, with vehicles equipped with petrol four-cylinder engines typically the most affordable to own and run.
The service intervals are dictated by model, too. The worst Nissan to own from a maintenance perspective is the Pathfinder Hybrid, with servicing needed every six months or 7000km. The best is the Leaf EV and Navara ute, with maintenance every 12 months or 20,000km - very tradie-friendly, then. Check out the table below for your model's specific service intervals.
Nissan is with the times, offering a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty. Many rival brands offer the same term, and some offer more.
Thankfully, Nissan includes a five-year roadside assist plan at the time of purchase, which runs in tandem with the warranty.
Nissan may have a longer capped-price servicing plan than some, but some costs are too high for a mainstream brand, especially given the shorter-than-average service intervals. 7/10
