Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a mi
When inspecting this specific Qashqai, prioritise checking the condition of all four tyres. The most recent MOT in July 2026 noted cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre, and a previous test in 2024 flagged the offside front tyre for similar issues. This suggests a pattern of tyre degradation that may require a full set of replacements soon.
Secondly, investigate the suspension. The 2024 MOT recorded worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. While these were noted as not resulting in excessive movement at the time, you should check for any knocking sounds or steering imprecise feeling during a test drive. Finally, ensure you request a service history to see if the higher-than-average mileage has been supported by regular maintenance.
As a 1.2L petrol model, this Qashqai is positioned in a relatively moderate insurance group and tax band, making it more economical than larger diesel variants. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load, but the smaller engine is designed for efficiency.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine servicing and periodic replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and suspension bushes, both of which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by the higher mileage, which may lead to more frequent component replacements compared to lower-mileage examples.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension components. Given the 2024 and 2026 MOT advisories regarding perishing or damaged tyres, check the sidewalls of all tyres for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear. This is a recurring theme for this specific vehicle.
Additionally, pay close attention to the front suspension. The 2024 MOT highlighted worn lower suspension arm bushes. During a test drive, listen for any clunks when going over speed bumps or uneven surfaces, as this can indicate that the wear noted in 2024 has progressed. Also, check the headlamps, as this is a common failure reason for the Qashqai model aggregate data.
This 2016 black Nissan Qashqai with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 80,416 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,707 miles per year. While the MOT history is largely positive, recent records show recurring issues with tyre condition and suspension component wear. The vehicle has passed five consecutive MOT tests since its first recorded entry in 2022.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.3% MOT pass rate, with common issues involving headlamps, tyres, and ball joints.
