Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When reviewing this vehicle, prioritise the service history to confirm that regular oil changes were performed, which is important for the 1.2L engine variant. Verify whether the brake discs and pads were replaced following the 2024 MOT advisories regarding pitting and scoring, as the clean 2025 and 2026 records suggest this work may have been completed.
Check for any recent tyre replacements, as tyres are one of the most common MOT failure points for the Qashqai model. If the tyres are nearing the end of their life, this provides a genuine point for price negotiation.
The 1197cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of urban efficiency and motorway capability. Expect moderate annual road tax based on 2018 petrol emissions standards and a mid-range insurance group typical for a family-sized SUV.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are standard for the segment, though owners should budget for the periodic replacement of brake components and tyres. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the brake discs and pads. While the 2026 MOT was clean, the 2024 record noted pitted and scored discs and fluctuating service brakes; ensuring these were properly rectified is key.
Additionally, check the headlamps and ball joints. According to aggregate data for over 500,000 Qashqais, these are among the top reasons for MOT failure. Finally, check the tyre tread and sidewalls for wear, as this is a frequent failure point for this specific model.
This 1.2L petrol Qashqai has recorded five MOT tests since 2022, all of which resulted in passes. With 41,760 miles on the odometer, it has been driven considerably less than the average for this model. The history is relatively clean, with the only notable defects being brake-related advisories in 2024 that did not reappear in subsequent tests.
The Qashqai maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 79.3% across a large sample of over 575,000 vehicles.
