Nissan turned up early to the SUV party, with its Qashqai paving the way for the countless models we see today. The Qashqai continues to sell in big numbers in the UK, too, and was also our overall Car of the Year in 2014.

Don’t think Nissan is just about SUVs, though. As well as the Qashqai, the smaller Juke and the larger X-Trail, the Japanese brand has the Micra hatchback, GT-R sports car and Navara pick-up truck.

Nissan was also one of the first big car makers to launch a fully electric car, with its latest Leaf being one of the best on the market.

Despite being based in Japan, Nissan has long committed to building cars in the UK, making several of its best-selling models at a huge factory in Sunderland.

Nissan is recalling 2.1 million cars in a worldwide recall of its Cube, Micra and Tida models. In the UK, 84,000 Micras built between January 2004 and March 2006 are potentially affected by the control module and ignition relay defects which can cause the cars to stall or fail to start. Work on the Micras will take 20 minutes and be conducted free of charge. Nissan says UK versions of the Cube are not affected and says it is not aware of any accidents caused by the potential fault.

Owners affected by the recall will be contacted by Nissan, but any owner can contact customer services on 01923 899334.
