From nissans own point of view,they say as long as car is serviced regular and well maintained,oil kept in check ect the chain should go on forever. Mines a 2004 (54 plate) I've not had chain replaced,and undecided whether to or not. I believe usually there are signs of the chain issue. Problems starting and idling I think are the usual,and imagine managment light as that comes on for lots of different issues if and when they arise.

I might get mine done at some point just to be on the safe side,few other jobs to sort before that expense though. Can't imagine it being a cheap job. Happy motoring in your new micra
