Used Nissan Serena for sale

Recent Nissan Serena models offer features such as multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes and stability control. Newer variants can have advanced driver aids like lane departure warning, collision mitigation and 360-degree cameras. Older models may have more basic equipment, so always check on the kit available in a car before buying.

Depending on the generation, the Serena is available with petrol or diesel engines, including 2.0-litre petrol and, in some recent models, a fuel-saving hybrid. Earlier models also offered small diesels, while newer imports often use the efficient S-Hybrid petrol engine found from 2013 onwards.

Technology varies by age and market. Many Serenas feature dual-zone climate control, reversing cameras and power sliding doors. Newer models make use of touchscreen infotainment systems, Bluetooth and advanced parking aids, though older versions more common on the UK used market won't have the more modern tech.

Typical petrol models achieve around 30–35mpg under mixed conditions, with hybrid versions stretching towards 40mpg. Actual economy depends on driving style and whether the car is fully loaded, but overall, the running costs remain reasonable for such a large people carrier.

Check the transmission feels nice and smooth, especially in automatics. Pay close attention to all the electrics – including windows, locks and doors – as faults have been reported for these. For extra reassurance, consider getting The AA Vehicle Inspection to spot any potential issues.

Overall, the Nissan Serena is known for good reliability, especially later-generation petrol models. Like all MPVs, heavy use can lead to more wear, so look out for that. Regular servicing and careful previous ownership are the best signs of dependable future performance.
