Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspection. While the most recent MOT was a clean pass, the vehicle shows a pattern of recent failures and significantly higher-than-average mileage.
Given the high mileage of 162,166 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has received regular oil changes. Ask for evidence of timing chain inspections or replacements, as these are critical for this engine variant at this age and mileage.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT failures. Even though the specific defects weren't listed in the summary, the fact that the vehicle failed in both 2025 and 2026 suggests that maintenance may have been reactive rather than proactive. Check the condition of the suspension components and turbocharger, as these often show wear on high-mileage diesel crossovers.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Qashqai is designed for efficiency, likely offering decent motorway fuel economy. However, at 16 years old, maintenance costs may increase as components reach the end of their natural lifespans.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific CO2 rating and driver profile, but you should budget for higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the mileage. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Pay close attention to the tyres and headlamps, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model across the aggregate data. Given the recent MOT failures in 2025 and 2026, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension or alignment issues.
Inspect the brake pads and discs thoroughly. Since brake pads are a common failure point for the Qashqai model, ensure there is plenty of life left or that they have been recently replaced. Additionally, check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke from the exhaust, which can be common in high-mileage diesel engines.
This 2010 Nissan Qashqai, finished in grey, is a high-mileage diesel example with 162,166 miles recorded at its last MOT in April 2026. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of failures, with two recorded failures in the last two years (2025 and 2026). Although it passed its most recent test without defects, the mileage is substantially higher than the model average.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.6%, with common failures relating to tyres, lighting, and brakes.
