Common mistakes owners make and how to avoid them
Even experienced car owners sometimes lose some of the benefits due to ignorance of the nuances of the program. Here are the most common mistakes and ways to prevent them:
1. Ignoring activation conditions
Many people believe that the program is connected automatically when purchasing a car. In fact, if the dealer has not formalized participation in Value Advantage when selling, the owner will have to do it himself. Check the status of the program in the first 30 days after purchase — later there may be difficulties with activation.
2. Use of non-original spare parts
Program discounts apply only for original parts Nissan. If you install analogues (for example, filters Mann or pads Brembo), preferential rates do not apply. The exception is spare parts certified by Nissan (their list can be checked with your dealer).
3. Skipping scheduled maintenance
If you do not complete service within the required time frame, your dealer may suspend your participation in the program. This is especially true for cars under warranty. Even if the mileage has not reached the norm, maintenance must be done once a year (for example, for Almera interval is 15,000 km or 12 months).
⚠️ Attention: When selling a car through Nissan Approved (Certified Pre-Owned Car Program) participation in Value Advantage may be cancelled. Check this point in advance if you plan to change your car.
4. Non-use of partner insurance offers
Many owners apply for CASCO or MTPL through familiar companies, not knowing what the program covers. Value Advantage you can get more favorable conditions. For example, in AlfaInsurance valid for program participants zero deductible in case of an accident due to the fault of third parties.
Always check with your dealer for the current list of program partners - it may change. For example, in 2023 Nissan added an insurance company to the partner network Tinkoff Insurance, which offers online policy registration at a discount.
