Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise verifying the repairs carried out for the May 2026 failure. Specifically, ask for evidence that the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fault and the parking brake efficiency issues were permanently resolved rather than temporarily bypassed. Check for any remaining evidence of the oil leak first noted in March 2024.
Given the vehicle's age and the recurring nature of suspension wear seen in the records, ensure there is a documented service history. Negotiate the price based on the likelihood of further wear-and-tear items appearing, as this vehicle has demonstrated a higher frequency of faults than the model average.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers moderate fuel economy for a crossover of this era, though it will be less efficient than newer variants. Tax and insurance will be typical for a 2010 Qashqai, falling into a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific example due to the history of suspension components (ball joints) and tyre wear. Expect annual spending on servicing and consumables to be elevated to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Carefully inspect the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joints and track rod ends, as these were failure points in 2024 and 2026. Check the underside for any signs of the oil leak mentioned in the March 2024 MOT and ensure the exhaust heatshield is now secure.
Test the parking brake thoroughly to ensure it holds firmly on an incline, following the efficiency failure in May 2026. Finally, check that all exterior lighting is functional and correctly aimed, as headlamp and position lamp faults have been recurring issues for this vehicle.
This blue 2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6 petrol has recorded 105,439 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures in 2024 and 2026, with specific issues relating to suspension, lighting, and an oil leak. The most recent test was preceded by a failure involving the SRS warning lamp and parking brake efficiency.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3%, with common failures often involving headlamps, tyres, and ball joints, all of which are present in this vehicle's history.
