Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the advisories from the August 2026 MOT. The mention of a deteriorated CV boot and an oil leak indicates immediate mechanical attention is required. You should use these points, along with the rear sub-frame corrosion, as primary levers for price negotiation, as these are not simple 'consumable' fixes.
Verify the service history specifically for the 1997cc petrol engine to see if the oil leak has been previously addressed or is a new development. Given the mileage, ensure there is evidence of timing chain or belt maintenance as per the manufacturer's schedule for this specific engine variant.
The 2.0L petrol engine is less fuel-efficient than the smaller Qashqai variants, leading to higher monthly fuel spend. As a 2010 model, it falls into a higher CO2 tax bracket compared to newer, downsized engines, and insurance groups for the 2.0L model are typically moderate.
Maintenance costs are likely to increase given the current MOT advisories. Replacing CV boots, addressing sub-frame corrosion, and fixing oil leaks will represent a significant immediate investment beyond standard servicing. Estimated annual running costs, including these anticipated repairs, will be higher than average for this model.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to assess the extent of the corrosion noted in the August 2026 MOT. While listed as 'not seriously weakened', corrosion can spread quickly in the UK climate. Additionally, check the engine bay for signs of active oil leakage and inspect the nearside front inner drive shaft for the deteriorated CV boot mentioned in the records.
Check the condition of the front brake discs, as they were flagged as worn and pitted. Finally, ensure the nearside front headlamp and rear stop lamp lenses are clear, as these have been recurring minor defects in the vehicle's history.
This 2010 Red Nissan Qashqai has covered 142,547 miles, which is above the expected average for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear-and-tear failures, including brakes, tyres, and ball joints. Most concerning is the August 2026 test, which passed but flagged several critical advisories including rear sub-frame corrosion and an engine oil leak.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.3%, with common failures involving headlamps and ball joints, both of which are present in this specific vehicle's history.
