Our Verdict
This is a solid option for those seeking
When inspecting this specific black Qashqai, pay close attention to the tyres. The most recent MOT in September 2025 flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, which may suggest alignment issues or simply the end of their service life. Ensure a set of new tyres is included in any purchase price negotiation.
Review the service history specifically for oil change intervals, as the 1.3L turbocharged engine requires consistent maintenance. While the 2023 MOT noted front brake discs were worn, this is a standard consumable item. Check that the brake pads and discs have been addressed since that inspection to ensure they meet current safety standards.
As a 1.3L petrol model, this Qashqai is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and benefit from Euro 6AP emissions standards, making it suitable for many low-emission zones. Fuel economy for this engine variant is generally efficient for a crossover of this size.
Maintenance costs will primarily revolve around consumables such as tyres and brakes, which have appeared in recent MOT records. Expect typical servicing costs for a petrol crossover, with the annual running cost heavily influenced by your typical driving mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your physical inspection on the front axle and tyres. Given the 2025 MOT advisory regarding edge wear on both front tyres, check for uneven tread patterns which could indicate a need for a wheel alignment (tracking) adjustment.
Additionally, check the condition of the front braking system. The 2023 MOT record highlighted worn brake discs; verify that these have been replaced or are in good condition to avoid immediate post-purchase costs. Finally, check the overall condition of the black paintwork for any significant stone chips, which are common on used crossovers.
This 2020 Nissan Qashqai features a 1.3L petrol engine and has covered 28,990 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle's mileage is slightly above the model average of 7,729 per year, but it remains well within a reasonable bracket for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor wear-and-tear items rather than major mechanical failures.
Aggregate data from over 570,000 vehicles shows that tyres, headlamps, and brake pads are the most common MOT issues for this model type.
