Car lifespans / Nissan
How long do Nissan cars last?
Nissan models average about 195,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The Frontier leads at an estimated 260,000 miles, and the Leaf is lowest at 150,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.

What the difference is worth
Take two used Nissans, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the Frontier has 160,000 miles left, or $0.050 per mile. The Leaf has 50,000 left, or $0.160 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
