Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking
When inspecting this specific Qashqai, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The 2024 MOT failure highlighted issues with both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and one having a cut reaching the cords. Ensure the current set has plenty of tread and shows no signs of uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
Additionally, check the headlamp assembly. The previous failure noted non-standard bulbs and incorrect aim; verify that the lighting system is currently functioning correctly and uses the appropriate manufacturer-specified bulbs. Given the 1.3L petrol engine, confirm that the service history aligns with the increased mileage of approximately 13,500 miles per year.
The 1332cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band for this era of Qashqai. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but as a Euro 6ap compliant vehicle, it is suitable for most Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Typical maintenance costs for this model include regular servicing and consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are noted as common failure points across the wider Nissan Qashqai model aggregate. Expect annual running costs to be mid-range for a compact SUV.
Focus your inspection on the front axle area. The 2024 MOT failure specifically cited issues with nearside and offside front tyres, including a deep cut on the offside tyre. Check for any remaining signs of impact damage to the wheels or suspension components.
Secondly, inspect the headlamp units. The record shows a failure regarding headlamp aim and incompatible bulb fitment. Ensure the beam pattern is correct and that no aftermarket LED bulbs have been installed that might cause glare or fail future inspections.
This 2021 Blue Nissan Qashqai has covered 54,221 miles since its first registration in March 2021. The MOT history shows a single failure in February 2024 involving tyres and headlamp issues, but the vehicle has passed its subsequent tests without recorded defects. The mileage is higher than the model average, reflecting more intensive use.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.5% MOT pass rate, with common issues frequently relating to tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
