Buying a used Nissan Townstar van

Which versions of the Nissan Townstar are listed

The titles of the Nissan Townstar adverts on this page use lengths L1 and L2.

L1, L2, L3 and L4 are dealers' and makers' shorthand for length, H1, H2 and H3 for roof height, and SWB, MWB and LWB for short, medium and long wheelbase. They differ between makers, so compare the load length and height in millimetres, not the code.

Payload and weight

A van's gross vehicle weight is the most the maker allows it to weigh with its load, and its payload is what is left for the load once the van's own weight is taken off. The weights are on the van's plate, so ask for the payload in kilograms of the one you are viewing.

VAT on a used Nissan Townstar

Some of the Nissan Townstar vans listed are advertised plus VAT, which means the price shown is before VAT is added. GOV.UK gives the standard rate of VAT as 20%. Where an advert does not say, ask the seller whether VAT is included before you agree a price, and ask your accountant whether you can reclaim it.

Autoza does not sell vans or attach a warranty to them. Whether a van comes with a warranty, and for how long, is up to the seller — check the advert or ask them. When you buy from a business you also have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015: the van must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.

Frequently asked questions about the Nissan Townstar

How much does a used Nissan Townstar cost?
Used Nissan Townstar vans on Autoza right now are priced from £8,494 to £15,995, averaging £12,370. Some vans and pickups are advertised plus VAT and many do not say whether VAT is included, so these prices mix the two: read each advert for its VAT position. These are the asking prices of the ones listed today, so they move as stock is added and sold.
Which versions of the Nissan Townstar are for sale?
The section above lists the lengths, wheelbases and roof heights the dealers' titles use, and what those codes stand for.
Is VAT included in Nissan Townstar prices?
It depends on the advert. "Plus VAT" means the price shown is before VAT is added, and an advert that does not say needs a question to the seller before you agree a price.
How much road tax does a used Nissan Townstar pay?
Vans are taxed at the light goods vehicle rate, not the car rate. A van up to 3,500kg revenue weight, registered from 1 March 2001, pays £360 a year, electric vans included. A van registered 1 March 2003 – 31 December 2006 that meets Euro 4, or 1 January 2009 – 31 December 2010 that meets Euro 5, pays £140 instead: the registration date alone cannot tell you, so ask the seller. A van registered before 1 March 2001 is taxed on engine size like a car of that age: £230 a year up to 1549cc, £375 above it.
Can I drive a Nissan Townstar on a car licence?
GOV.UK says a car licence (category B, for a test passed on or after 1 January 1997) covers vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass with up to 8 passenger seats, and that category C1 covers 3,500kg to 7,500kg. The limits differ for an older licence, so check the categories on yours against the maximum authorised mass of the van you are viewing. GOV.UK: driving licence categories.

Before You Buy a Used Nissan Townstar

  • Make sure the V5C logbook matches the seller and the vehicle, and ask for the service history.
  • With the registration, run a vehicle history check (such as HPI) for outstanding finance, write-offs and theft.
