Nissan's commitment to End of Life Vehicles

Nothing lasts forever! One day a Nissan reaches the end of its service life. Although it is not suitable for daily use any more, it is not worthless and still has a value: every old vehicle contains expensive raw materials that can be recycled into the product cycle again.

In line with the requirements of the EC End of Life Vehicle Directive, Nissan owners are offered the possibility to recycle their vehicle at the end of its useful life, free of charge.

The End of Life Vehicle Directive applies to all passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with up to nine seats and up to a total permissible weight of 3.5 tonnes.

Free take back is available for all vehicles regardless of age.

As defined in the law, free take back will be offered provided:

•    The vehicle is delivered to a Nissan appointed take back facility

•    The vehicle contains all its essential components, in particular the engine, transmission, coachwork, wheels or catalytic converter (if originally fitted)

•    That no waste has been added to the vehicle (for example: household and garden waste, extra tyres etc...)

Your vehicle will be recycled to meet the reuse, recycling and recovery target specified in the End of Life Vehicle Directive.
