Our Verdict
A solid option for high-mileage drivers, provided you are comfortable with its heavy usage. The recent MOT history shows a clean record over the last two years despite the high mileage.
Given that this 1.5L diesel engine has covered over 100,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history. Check for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, which are critical for high-mileage diesel engines.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is relatively clean, the vehicle has been driven much more than the 7,756-mile annual average for this model. Ensure you verify the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as high-mileage diesel Qashqais can face issues with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) if used primarily for short urban trips.
As a 1461cc diesel, this Qashqai is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering competitive fuel economy. However, being a 2016 model, you should check its specific Euro emissions standard to anticipate potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage will typically involve more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items. Expect higher costs for suspension components and braking systems as the vehicle approaches the 110,000-mile mark. Estimated annual running costs are moderate but subject to your annual mileage.
Review the MOT history carefully; although the recent tests are clean, there was a failure in late 2024. Even though no defect was noted in the summary, you should physically inspect the tyres, headlamps, and brake pads, as these are the most common failure points for the Qashqai model aggregate.
Check the condition of the suspension and steering components, as high-mileage diesel crossovers often show wear in these areas. Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, which can become more common as the 1.5 dCi engine ages.
This 2016 Grey Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi has covered significantly more mileage than the model average, currently sitting at 103,731 miles. While the annual mileage is high, the MOT history shows no recorded defects in the most recent three tests. The vehicle's history includes one failure in November 2024 at 97,432 miles, though no specific defect was listed in the summary provided.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.5% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
