The car looks perfect from the outside - not a spot of rust anywhere. Bought undercoating from the dealer with a 5 year warranty. All service was done by the dealer who never spotted the problem. Problem was spotted when I took the car in for government safety check. Nissan refused to do anything. Had to trade the car in for almost nothing even with only 107,000 km.
