Common Problems: NISSAN PRIMASTAR
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Parking brake intermediate connector can break (recalls R/2008/170 and R/2010/231)(Serious)
Two DVSA campaigns hit the Primastar handbrake. R/2008/170 covers 7,373 UK vans built between 1 January 2006 and 10 June 2008, where the intermediate handbrake connector may break, letting the cable separate from the connector and the parking brake fail to hold. R/2010/231 covers a small window of vans built between 19 May and 23 August 2010 where the primary handbrake cable end crimping did not conform, so the cable could detach. For a loaded van parked on a gradient that is a genuine hazard, and it is the single check the RAC's used-van advice boils down to on the road: make sure the parking brake actually holds.
- Cam belt, fuel system and brake wear add up fast on high-mileage vans(Moderate)
The RAC's Primastar buying guide is unusually specific about what costs money: the engines are rugged but 72,000 miles is the cam belt interval and a van that has missed it needs a £350 discount, glow plug replacement is around £500, injectors about £1,000, a fuel pump roughly £2,000 and a replacement gearbox around £1,000, while vans driven fully loaded can eat through pads and discs and the named wear items include slipping clutches and tired rear suspension. It also warns that a persistent engine management light can mean a wiring loom or ECU fault rather than the cheaper camshaft sensor. None of these are surprises on a twelve-year-old diesel van, but they are the difference between a £1,500 buy and a £4,000 one.
