Had the car for 2 years and 4 months now and have been offered a good deal to swap for a brand new version of the same model. Only done 12,000 miles so the dealer seems pretty keen to take my car. Over the 28 months the miles per gallon has been just under 40 mpg, but I have done a lot of short journeys around town, particularly in the last 12 months.
Reluctant to let the car go but I didn't intend to keep it beyond 3 years anyway. Will let you know the details of the new car when it is finalised. I assume that the spare wheel that I purchased with my 2016 J11 will fit the facelift model? If anyone could offer confirmation then it would be most appreciated.
The reason you've been offered a good deal is that it's gone out of production and Nissan dealers may have to register all remaining ones before 1 September 2018. (They certainly have to register all diesel ones). Hence the dealer's interest. Check out prices of pre-reg examples from Nissan dealers round about before committing.

Thanks Gloucester. The offers I received on the 1.2 are for September registrations (68 reg).

Lowest price I can find for new 68 reg on 4 year PCP is £19,103. Metallic paint and glass roof brings it to £19,995. My part exchange would yield £12,760 minus owed finance. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Traded in for the same model except brand new with metallic paint and Pano roof with 6 miles on the clock (68 new reg). Did the deal because my PCP repayments stayed the same and no deposit. Loved the car but wanted the security of a new car 3 year warranty.
Yes, I know that the 1.3 engine will be out in a matter of weeks but more than happy to stay with the 1.2 on the GFV PCP scheme. Review to follow.

Just to pop back on the forums to add update on my 2016 1.2 Dig-t N-connecta manual with regards to fuel economy.
3 year old now and trip computer reads 38.9 mpg overall. Not reset the original setting. Covered 22500 miles of short country journeys 8-20 mile trips.
Very pleased as expected 30-35 overall. Best was a 50.3 mpg on a 20 mile journey , driving smoothly. Normally get about 35 - 40 though om my 8 mile country trips to work.
