Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific red Qashqai, focus on the suspension and tyre maintenance. The 2024 MOT failure highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring and both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Ensure that these issues were not just rectified for the test, but that the suspension components feel robust and the tyres have ample tread remaining.
Request documentation to confirm that the coil spring replacement was carried out. Given the diesel engine, check for any signs of recent servicing, as the MOT history does not provide evidence of mechanical maintenance. Negotiate on the basis of the 2024 failure if there is no proof of the repairs being completed to a high standard.
The 1461cc diesel engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and is designed for efficient long-distance driving. Fuel economy should be competitive for a crossover of this era, though actual costs will depend on driving style and load.
Typical maintenance for this model includes regular oil changes and brake inspections, which are noted as common failure points in the wider Nissan Qashqai data set. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
You should pay close attention to the tyres and suspension. The MOT history for PX66VVC specifically flagged worn edges on both front tyres and a broken rear coil spring in 2024. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues, and check the underside for any signs of further suspension wear.
Additionally, as headlamps and brake pads are top failure reasons for the Qashqai model aggregate, ensure the light clusters are clear and functioning correctly, and check the thickness of the brake pads and discs during your inspection.
