I have a 2010 versa that's coming to the end of its lease.
Thinking of buying it out.
72,000km, just Needs new brake pads and rotors.

Do the versa's have a decent life expectancy?
If i take care of it, what kind of mileage would you expect to get?

and if i decide to buy it, should i get the end of lease inspection even if i'm not returning it? (i'm thinking it's a good way to get a free report on everything that needs attention)

thanks

From what I've seen on this forum and others, I can say that they seem like solid cars. They should have a decent life expectancy as long as all regular maintenance is done accordingly and on time. A guy on here had his Versa in the 300,000 mile range! They'll last if you treat them right.

thanks sergmx.
I've been religious with oil changes.
what maintenance milestones would you consider essential for the longevity of the car?

Welcome to the forums. I purchased my sedan new in 2010 and it has been great to me. It has definitely grown on me. Nissan did the 15K mile service(almost $300) but other than that its been basic maintenance. Meaning filter and oil change, replaced wiper blades, rotating tires, etc.

I had a 2009 Versa hback that had 101k on it. I say had because of an accident and it had to be totaled. I am very sad. I didn't have any major issues - as JoshG said - basic maintenance. I loved it and am looking to get another Versa.
