Our Verdict
This 2012 Nissan Qashqai is a solid, well-maintained example with remarkably low mileage for its age. It is a sensible purchase for a buyer seeking a reliable family crossover, provided the recent minor electrical repairs are verified.
When viewing this vehicle, first check the paperwork for the recent MOT rectification. Ensure the headlamp and registration plate bulbs were replaced with high-quality components to prevent recurring electrical faults. Given the 2025 MOT noted a split drive shaft CV boot, confirm that this was repaired correctly and that there is no clicking noise when turning the steering wheel at full lock.
It is essential to verify the service history to ensure the 1.6-litre petrol engine has received regular oil changes. These engines are generally robust, but they rely on clean oil to maintain timing chain health. Ask the seller if the clutch feels heavy or if there is any judder, as this is a common area of wear on higher-mileage Qashqais, even if this specific example has been lightly used.
