Used Nissan Bakkie For Sale

Nissan has a rich history of producing bakkies that have left a lasting impact on the SA automotive landscape. Among these, the NP200 and the iconic NP300 (formerly known as the Hardbody), Nissan 1400 and Nissan Champ stand out as favorites for their reliability, versatility, and robust performance.

While buying a new car is always an exciting prospect, those looking for a used Nissan bakkie for sale can rely on our best selection of pre-owned models to meet and exceed all expectations. This is largely due to our second-hand bakkies being quality assured by going through a 101-point quality check. Part of this process also involves verifying that the car has been legitimately bought and sold.

We also offer an optional 24-month warranty and optional roadside assistance plan for added peace of mind. Our Nissan Intelligence Promise means you will know your car’s history from where it has been, what it has done and that our Nissan bakkies are ready for anything. An added benefit of choosing Group1 is that you will see some of the best Nissan bakkie prices on the market.

Used NP200 (Discontinued)

The NP200 remains one of South Africa’s favourite Nissan bakkies. A prominent player in South Africa’s half-ton bakkie market from its launch in 2008, the NP200 production ended in March 2024. Designed and built locally as a replacement to the immensely popular Nissan 1400 bakkie, it was based on the Dacia Logan platform and earned a reputation for being practical, reliable, and versatile, making it a favorite among small business owners and individuals alike. With features like a spacious cabin, a sizable loading bay, good fuel economy and driver-friendly amenities, the NP200 consistently sold over 1,000 units per month during its run, cementing its status as a “Champion of Africa” in the light commercial vehicle segment.

Not only is the NP200 tough and versatile but it also has personality and style which is further bolstered by many safety and driver comfort features. This car is perfect for individuals wanting a bakkie for odd jobs or simply to take the dogs to the beach.

The NP200 discontinuation was part of Nissan’s strategic shift to focus on the Navara as their primary bakkie offering, marking the end of an era for the NP200 after more than 15 years of service to the SA market. Fortunately, it’s possible to still find NP200 models available as pre-owned or used vehicles for sale.

Used Nissan NP300 (Discontinued)

The Nissan NP300 was previously known as the Nissan Hardbody and, like the Nissan Champ, it was a true South Africa icon for quite some time. When the Nissan Hardbody underwent a big overhaul in 2007, it quickly became one of South Africa’s top-selling bakkies. It was the first-ever reliable South African-built, fuel-efficient and powerful diesel engine which the newer models are still using today, with a few improvements along the way.

You can still get your hands on a pre-owned Nissan NP300, available in both single-cab and double-cab options, with the Nissan NP300 double cab also in a Hi-Rider variant. All models offer a load capacity of more than 1000 kg and 4×4 options on specific models. With a good ground clearance of up to 240mm, the NP300 means business whether it’s for a family adventure or delivering goods across the country.

The NP300 is so versatile that you can use it as an everyday vehicle, a commercial workhorse or for a weekend getaway. A used NP300 is the perfect choice for work and play. If you’re looking for a used Nissan bakkie for sale, here is a comparison to help you find the right Nissan NP300 for you:

Used Nissan 1400 (Discontinued)

Who can forget the Nissan 1400 bakkie that replaced the outgoing Datsun 1200 in the 1970s? This little rear-wheel drive South African stalwart must be one of the most iconic Nissan bakkies ever made; a true workhorse with a never-say-die attitude. Affordable, reliable, and cheap to maintain and service – this Nissan bakkie was the preferred choice for everyone, from farmers and plumbers to garden services and delivery vehicles.

It became even more popular among business owners and families when the Nissan 1400 turned into the Nissan Champ around 2005. By adding a few enhancements such as a tinted windscreen, decals, spotlights, bucket seats, cloth upholstery, rev counter and a soft grip steering wheel, this small but tough Nissan bakkie was seen all over the country being used to transport goods, the family dogs or fishing and camping weekends.

Unfortunately, the Nissan 1400 and the Nissan Champ have been discontinued and are no longer being manufactured anywhere in the world. However, thanks to the incredible build quality, reliability and longevity, there is still a good interest in second-hand Nissan 1400 bakkies in South Africa.
