Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This vehic
If you are considering this Qashqai, your primary focus must be on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a progression of corrosion issues, moving from 'subframe mounting corroded' in 2022 to 'rear axle heavily corroded' in 2024, and 'rear sub-frame corroded' in 2025. You should request a professional underside inspection to determine if this corrosion is progressing toward a structural failure.
Negotiate the price downwards to account for the high mileage and the documented history of component failures. Ask for a detailed service history to see if the suspension components and braking systems have been addressed following the various MOT failures. Be particularly wary of any claims that the car is 'perfect' given the documented history of split CV boots, worn ball joints, and imbalanced brakes.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to smaller city cars but higher than modern diesel equivalents. You should expect average fuel economy for a 2010 SUV, though the high mileage may affect efficiency if maintenance is neglected.
Insurance groups for this era of Qashqai vary, but the 1.6L engine typically falls into a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the recurring issues with suspension (ball joints, track rod ends, and coil springs) and braking components seen in the recent MOT records. Estimate an annual budget that accounts for frequent wear-and-tear replacements.
The most critical inspection point is the rear sub-frame and axle. The MOT history specifically flags heavy corrosion in the rear axle (2024) and sub-frame (2025). You must check if these areas have been treated or if the corrosion is spreading.
Secondly, inspect the front suspension and steering components. The vehicle has a history of failures involving offside front suspension arms, ball joints, and track rod ends. Check for any knocking or play when driving over bumps. Finally, examine the seat belts; the 2022 and 2025 MOTs both noted frayed or damaged webbing on the nearside and offside front belts, which is a safety requirement that must be addressed.
This 2010 Nissan Qashqai with the 1.6L petrol engine has covered 165,399 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,707 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of structural issues, specifically regarding rear axle and sub-frame corrosion, alongside recurring suspension and braking defects. While it has passed its most recent test, the history suggests a vehicle that requires frequent attention to stay roadworthy.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and ball joints.
