Our Verdict
This 2012 Nissan Qashqai represents a lo
When viewing this specific vehicle, confirm the service history matches the low mileage recorded. While the MOTs show no defects, you should check for evidence of regular oil changes, particularly for the 1598cc petrol engine.
Since this model is a popular crossover, check that all electronic components and interior trim are intact. Because the MOT history shows no recent issues with tyres or brakes, it is worth verifying if these components have been replaced recently, as they are common failure points for the Qashqai model aggregate.
As a 1.6L petrol engine, this Qashqai will typically sit in a moderate insurance group and offer more predictable running costs compared to diesel variants. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load, but it is generally efficient for a vehicle of this size.
Annual running costs will include fuel, tax, and insurance. Given the age and engine size, maintenance costs are expected to be standard for a non-premium crossover, though you should budget for typical wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads which are noted as common failure reasons for this model type.
Focus your inspection on the items most likely to cause MOT failures in this model range, specifically tyres, headlamps, and brake pads. Although this specific vehicle has had no recorded defects since 2022, these are the most frequent reasons for failure in the wider Qashqai data set.
Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, and ensure the headlamp alignment and brightness are correct. Given the vehicle's age, also inspect the rubber components and suspension bushings for signs of perishing or wear.
Registered in May 2012, this black 1.6L petrol Qashqai has covered 68,825 miles as of its most recent MOT in July 2026. This mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 7,729 miles per year, which would suggest a total of approximately 100,000+ miles for a vehicle of this age. The MOT record shows four consecutive passes without any recorded defects, which is a positive indicator of recent compliance.
The Nissan Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.5% across the 574,821 vehicles analysed, with tyres, headlamps, and brake pads being the most frequent failure points.
