Belt or chain in a 2010 Nissan March?

Hi I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Nissan March Automatic does it have a timing chain or belt and what are the common problems with these cars.It has approx 189000kms so should the chain have been replaced.

Our answer:

Hi Tim,

I'm sure you know that's effectively a Micra. They are very reliable. Assuming it's one of the petrol engines, then it has a timing chain, which does not have a set replacement schedule - it's designed for the life of the engine.
