Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage and a pattern of recent MOT failures. While the most recent test was a pass, the vehicle's usage profile requires careful scrutiny.
With 141,202 miles on the clock, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Specifically, ask for evidence of timing belt changes and fuel filter replacements, which are critical for this 1.5L diesel engine at this mileage.
Negotiate based on the mileage and the recent MOT failure history. While the failures themselves aren't detailed in the records, the fact that the vehicle required retests in two consecutive years suggests that minor maintenance items might have been overlooked. Ensure you check the service book for consistent oil changes and look for any signs of turbocharger wear or clutch issues common in high-mileage Qashqais.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Qashqai is designed for efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its high mileage. You can expect relatively competitive fuel economy on long motorway journeys, but maintenance costs may increase as components reach the end of their natural lifespan.
Insurance groups for this model typically vary depending on the driver profile, and tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 output of this 1461cc engine. Expect annual maintenance costs to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the wear-and-tear associated with 140,000+ miles.
Pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and brake pads, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model across the aggregate data. Given the recent MOT failures in 2024 and 2025, check that all bulbs are functioning and that the tread depth on all tyres is well above the legal limit.
Under the bonnet, inspect for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke from the exhaust, which could indicate issues with the diesel system or turbo. Additionally, check the suspension components and brake discs, as these are high-wear items that often contribute to MOT failures on vehicles with this level of mileage.
This 2012 Nissan Qashqai is a high-mileage diesel model, having covered 141,202 miles as of its last test in November 2025. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of failing the initial test before passing on a retest in both 2024 and 2025. Given the vehicle is significantly above the model average annual mileage, any purchase should be approached with a thorough mechanical inspection.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.5% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
