Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The primary concern for this vehicle is the suspension. MOT records from 2023, 2024, and 2025 all mention rust or corrosion in the suspension area, suggesting a persistent issue that has not been fully remediated. A professional mechanical inspection is essential to determine if this is superficial surface rust or structural corrosion that could lead to expensive repairs.
Given the age of the vehicle, you should also request evidence of a regular service history to complement the MOT data. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for tyre replacements if the nearside front tyre remains close to the legal limit, as noted in the December 2025 pass certificate.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and utility, though fuel economy will be lower than modern equivalents or diesel variants of the same model. Insurance costs are typically moderate for this class of crossover, and road tax will be based on the 2010 CO2 emissions bracket for this engine size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a vehicle of this age, particularly regarding the chassis and suspension. With a history of repeated tyre wear and corrosion advisories, budget for annual suspension checks and frequent tyre replacements. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody and suspension components. Specifically, look for the 'rusty' and 'corroded' areas flagged in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOT tests to assess the severity of the oxidation. Ensure that the suspension mounts and arms are structurally sound.
Check the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to the nearside front and nearside rear, as these have been flagged for being worn close to the legal limit or damaged across multiple years. Finally, verify that all external lighting, including the registration plate lamp that caused the 2025 failure, is fully operational.
This 2010 black Nissan Qashqai 1.6 petrol has recorded 91,697 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of tyre wear and suspension corrosion since 2023. It passed its most recent test in December 2025 following a failure for a tyre and a registration plate lamp.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3%, with tyres and ball joints identified as common failure points across the model range.
