Hi mate. Welcome. The 2008 should be a common rail Deisel which is rhe pick. If its not, find one that is.

Check under the car for scrapes and dings as it will give you a good indication of its life.

Front axle seals, make sure the swivel hub is not leaking around the big ball on the end of the feont diff. This will be clear to see looking at the inside face of the front wheels.

Bubbled Dash. Some can be hideous. Nissan Will Not fix it. It qill coat you about $1000 to have it replaced if required.

Good luck mate.
