Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
Given that this 1.5L diesel Qashqai has covered nearly 100,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for regular oil changes, which are critical for these small-capacity diesel engines. Ask the seller for evidence of recent major interval services, particularly regarding the timing chain or belt if applicable to this specific engine variant.
When viewing the car, check the condition of the tyres and braking components. While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model shows headlamps, tyres, and ball joints as common failure points. Ensure these components have sufficient tread and perform a test drive to check for any suspension knocks that might indicate worn ball joints.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance motorway driving. Expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to petrol counterparts, though driving costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage.
Insurance groups for the Qashqai vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific trim level. Maintenance costs for a vehicle nearing the 100,000-mile mark may increase as components like suspension bushings or exhaust systems reach the end of their typical service life. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be moderate.
Focus your inspection on the areas highlighted by wider model trends. Check the headlight clarity and alignment, as headlamps are a frequent failure reason for the Qashqai across the wider fleet. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components.
Additionally, pay close attention to the underside and suspension. Since ball joints are a common failure reason in the aggregate data, listen for any clicking or clunking sounds when turning the steering wheel or driving over bumps. Given the mileage of 97,419, also check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay.
This 2018 black Nissan Qashqai has covered 97,419 miles since its first registration in May 2018. The vehicle has a clean MOT record for the last five consecutive tests, with the most recent test in May 2026 showing no defects. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average, the lack of recorded failures is a notable data point.
Aggregate data from over 575,000 vehicles shows a 79.3% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to lighting, tyres, and ball joints.
