Verdict
Ludospace proposé en 1.3 essence de 130 ch ou en électrique de 122 ch. L'argus annonce 5 places et 775 litres de coffre sur la version courte. Aucune panne documentée publiquement n'a été trouvée et le modèle manque de recul : les retours d'utilisateurs publiés sont trop rares pour juger sa fiabilité.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 152 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Nissan Townstar”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 17 September 2026 — Les goupilles de charnière de la porte arrière peuvent manquer en raison d'un montage incorrect. Cela pourrait empêcher la porte arrière d'être solidement retenue lors d'une collision arrière, ce qui augmenterait le risque de blessure. Official notice
- 23 January 2026 — Les percuteurs de portes battantes arrière en saillie peuvent causer des blessures à la tête lorsque les utilisateurs entrent ou sortent de l'arrière du véhicule, par exemple pendant le chargement ou le déchargement. Official notice

Inspection checklist
Nissan Townstar I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire Nissan, les rappels et campagnes en cours.
- Contrôler l'état de la batterie sur l'EV (rapport de santé, autonomie réelle) et la présence des câbles de recharge.
- Vérifier la longueur (courte ou longue) et le nombre de places (5 ou 7) : le volume de coffre en dépend.
- Essayer la boîte manuelle et écouter le moteur 1.3 turbo à froid.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien complet.
Questions to ask the seller
- Quelle est la version : courte ou longue, 5 ou 7 places ?
- Un rappel ou une campagne a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
- Pour l'électrique, quelle est la santé de la batterie et quel mode de recharge a été utilisé ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
