Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

Blue Core Engine Reliability

The NMAX's Blue Core 155cc SOHC engine is known for strong long-term reliability, often exceeding 50,000 km with minimal issues when serviced regularly every 3,000-5,000 km.

⚠️

Watch the CVT Belt

A common issue on higher-mileage units is CVT belt wear causing vibration or slipping — inspect it carefully at purchase and budget for replacement around 20,000-25,000 km.

Strong Resale Value

The NMAX holds resale value exceptionally well in Southeast Asian and European markets, typically retaining 70-80% of its value after two years due to high brand demand and parts availability.
