Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a modern crossover with a clean recent MOT history. The vehicle's mileage is higher than average, but the lack of recorded defects in recent tests is a positive indicator.
When considering this Qashqai, your primary focus should be on the higher-than-average mileage. Since the vehicle has covered over 60,000 miles in approximately five years, you should verify if the major service intervals required for this engine size have been met.
Check the service book for evidence of oil changes and filter replacements, as the MOT history only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards and does not reflect mechanical maintenance. Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and brake pads during your physical inspection.
The 1332cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for family use. Fuel economy for this 1.3L variant is typically efficient for a crossover of this size, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs should be considered in line with a vehicle that has exceeded 60,000 miles, where items such as brake pads and tyres—common failure points for this model aggregate—may require replacement soon. Estimated annual running costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Based on the aggregate data for Nissan Qashqai models, you should specifically inspect the tyres and headlamps, as these are top reasons for MOT failures across the wider fleet. Ensure the tread depth is sufficient and that there are no cracks in the light housings.
Additionally, check the brake pads and discs. While this specific vehicle (DY21ULE) has had no recorded MOT defects, the high mileage means wear-and-tear components are more likely to be nearing the end of their service life. A thorough check of the suspension components is also advised given the mileage profile.
This 2021 Nissan Qashqai (DY21ULE) is a petrol-powered model with a 1.3L engine, finished in black. While it has covered 61,535 miles since its first registration in March 2021, its MOT history shows three consecutive passes with no defects recorded between 2023 and 2025. This specific vehicle has been driven significantly more than the model average of 7,757 miles per year.
The Nissan Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.6% across the 574,724 vehicles analysed in our database.
