Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a history of
When inspecting this specific vehicle, pay close attention to the underside. The 2025 MOT record explicitly noted corrosion on the front sub-frame, rear sub-frame, and both rear suspension arms. You should check if any remedial work was actually carried out to address this corrosion or if it was simply deemed 'not seriously weakened' at the time.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent suspension work. The 2024 failure involved multiple issues including ball joints, anti-roll bar linkages, and a split CV boot. Ensure these components have been replaced with quality parts. Additionally, verify the service history for regular oil changes, which is vital for the 1.5L diesel engine to prevent turbocharger or injector issues common in high-mileage examples.
The 1461cc diesel engine is typically geared towards efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway journeys. However, at 127,152 miles, maintenance costs may increase as components like the clutch, flywheel, or turbocharger reach the end of their typical lifespans.
Insurance groups for this era of Qashqai vary depending on the driver profile, but expect moderate premiums. Fuel economy should remain relatively good if the engine is well-maintained, but high mileage can lead to decreased efficiency if sensors or injectors are fouled. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a diesel crossover.
A physical inspection of the chassis is essential. Given the 2025 MOT advisories regarding corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames, look for signs of surface rust or deeper scaling that could lead to future failures. Check the suspension bushings and ball joints, as the 2024 MOT failure highlighted multiple worn components in this area.
Test the drive shaft area specifically, as the 2024 record noted a split CV boot. Listen for clicking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, which could indicate CV joint wear. Finally, check the brake pedal feel; the 2023 and 2024 records both flagged the brake pedal as 'wearing smooth', so ensure the braking system feels firm and responsive during a test drive.
This 2010 black Nissan Qashqai with the 1.5L diesel engine has covered 127,152 miles as of March 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension component wear and notable corrosion issues on sub-frames and suspension arms recorded in 2025. Although the 2026 test passed without defects, the vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,679 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.3% average MOT pass rate, with ball joints being a common reason for failure across the fleet.
