Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Prioritise a review of the service history to confirm if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical for the 1.46L diesel engine at this mileage. Check for invoices relating to the 2024 sub-frame bush repair and the 2025 anti-roll bar linkage advisories to ensure these have been rectified rather than just monitored.
Given the high mileage, use the recurring tyre wear and suspension advisories as a point for price negotiation. Ensure the seller can provide evidence of recent maintenance beyond the basic MOT requirements to justify the asking price.
The 1.46L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, but maintenance costs are likely to increase as the vehicle exceeds 140,000 miles. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings, brake pipes, and tyres, which have appeared in the MOT history.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2012 emissions bracket, and insurance. Maintenance for a vehicle of this age and mileage typically requires a larger contingency fund for unexpected repairs.
Carefully inspect the anti-roll bar linkages and sub-frame bushes, as these were flagged as severely deteriorated or worn in the 2024 and 2025 MOTs. Check the condition of the brake pipes, specifically at the rear, following the corrosion advisories recorded in 2022.
Check all four tyres for tread depth and uneven wear patterns, as the MOT history shows a pattern of tyres reaching the legal limit. Finally, verify that the heat shield and rear fog lamp, which caused a failure in 2024, are now fully functional and secure.
This 2012 red Nissan Qashqai has recorded 143,782 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a general trend of passing, though it includes a failure in 2024 and repeated advisories concerning tyre wear and suspension components. The vehicle's data suggests a high-use history with expected age-related wear.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, tyres, and ball joints.
