Buying a Used Nissan Kicks Malaysia — Checklist
Standard variant checks: (1) CVT fluid — light pink/red, dark = neglect. (2) OBD scan for CVT codes P0744/P0840. (3) A/C cooling performance. (4) Service history for CVT fluid intervals. (5) Tyre condition and alignment. e-Power specific checks: (1) Verify no e-Power warning lights on the cluster — if any appear, have HV system scanned at Nissan dealer before purchase. (2) Check 12V auxiliary battery age — often the cause of e-Power system warnings, easy and cheap to fix. (3) Test regenerative braking feel — smooth and consistent is normal. (4) HV battery health check via Nissan Consult at authorised workshop if possible.

Used Kicks e-Power Inspection
