Our Verdict
This is a solid recommendation for a used Nissan Qashqai buyer. The recent MOT history shows a clean record for the last two consecutive years, suggesting recent maintenance has addressed previous concerns.
When inspecting this specific 1.3L petrol variant, check the service history to ensure the turbocharger and timing components have been maintained according to Nissan's schedule. Given the mileage is higher than average for a 2020 vehicle, verify that all major services have been completed to prevent wear on the engine.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean for the last two years, the vehicle has covered roughly 15,000 miles per year, which is nearly double the aggregate model average. Look for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as tyres are a top failure reason for this model type.
The 1332cc petrol engine is generally efficient for a compact crossover, though fuel economy will depend on driving style and load. As a 2020 model, it likely meets Euro 6 emissions standards, which may affect certain ultra-low emission zone charges depending on your location.
Maintenance costs should be typical for a Nissan of this age, though higher mileage may mean sooner replacements of consumables like brake pads and tyres. Expect an annual running cost to be moderate, factoring in fuel, standard servicing, and insurance.
Focus your inspection on the items most commonly flagged in the wider Qashqai data: tyres, headlamps, and brake pads. Although this specific vehicle had no defects in its 2024 and 2025 tests, these are the most frequent points of failure for the model aggregate.
Given the 2023 MOT failure (though no specific defect was listed in the summary provided), check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of recent repairs or leaks. Ensure the black paintwork is free of significant stone chips, which can be common on higher-mileage vehicles used on motorways.
This 2020 black Nissan Qashqai with the 1.3L petrol engine has covered 62,173 miles since its first registration in December 2020. While it has one recorded MOT failure from July 2023, the vehicle has passed its last two annual tests with no defects recorded. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,756 miles per year, indicating it has likely been used for regular long-distance commuting.
The Nissan Qashqai shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.5% across the analysed sample, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and brakes.
