Buying high mileage Nissan Qashqai?

Jayjay2424

Hi everyone just looking for peoples opinions I was on the look out for a Nissan qashqai all of them tho seem to have around 150 thousand miles on them for what I'm looking to spend on one between 2007 2008 diesel . Would anyone think it would be silly to buy one of them with 150k miles on it or would they go beyond that milage for another while . ***DIESEL MODEL***

What's your budget OP?

The most important thing before anything is a FSH.

I'd rather buy a 150k miles with a FSH than a 50K car with no service history.

Plus, OP, are they diesels or petrols?

I'm kind of looking at the 3k mark I have money to buy one way up the years but I'd rather not I'm gona use it for 1 year next year I will be moving to a van just dont want to now over young baby . Buying a model up the years will just loose value by next year and then trying to sell it also will be a pain in the ass

The person has said there is stamped service history with it . It's the diesel model 2008 . There looking 3500 for it would a 2008 go for that price with that milage or should it be cheaper ?

3.5k sounds suspiciously cheap to me for a 2008 diesel Qashqai, even one with 150k miles on it.

I wouldn't say that now, 3 - 3.5k is about right

I thought that was expensive considering it has 150k miles that's alot of miles when you think of it

That's what I also was thinking I thought was a little expensive tho not far off dealer prices but I wouldn't waste time with a dealer your paying 2 grand extra basically and all your getting is 3 months warrenty nothing would even happen within the 3 months

150000 isn’t a lot of miles for an 11/12 year old diesel car.

Have you your heart set on the Nissan ?

Personally if I was looking for a diesel in around the price you mentioned I would go for something like this

Bulletproof engines and looks to be well looked after .

If it where to be a 1.9 or 2.0 I would say yes but it's only small engine to take all them miles when you think of it

Nah, that’s more your perception than anything else. 150k isn’t excessive mileage either way.

I was thinking it was its alot of wear and tear to other major components also when you think of it now

not if its the wrong engine code

What components do you think will wear out quicker on a smaller engine OP?
While I’m not suggesting that the 1.5 dCi is indestructible, it still has a better reputation than a lot of bigger engines.

Let the bears pay the bear tax. You are only planning on keeping the car a year or so. So why are you worried about it's current mileage? You aren't going to add another 50k to it.

I've known two of these dCi's with high mileage to(140-150k miles) have the fuel pump go, particularly the Nissan Notes, it's an expensive fix.
In one you could feel it struggling in high revs.
Parts are easy to come by though.

Fair enough but that’s not a consequence of the engine being 1.5 vs it being 1.9 - is the point I’m trying to make

But yeah, I’ve heard of aux belts taking the timing belt with them on the 1.5 so they’re not indestructible. The masses love Qashqais though and there’s no arguing with that.

Yeah they're very economical on long spins and nice and spacious, not sure I'd buy a high mileage diesel one for school runs and popping to the shops though.

A failed fuel pump in a Nissan or indeed any other make of car these days is an extremely rare occurrence indeed so I would have no concerns about that issue. The dci engine in the Qashqai (110 b h.p.) is a completely different unit to the Note anyway.

I assumed wrongly that they were the same engine.
I was told it was common(by a local mechanic) on this type of engine(Nissan Note 1.5 dci) when miles got high.

colm_mcm

Both the Note (mk1) and Qashqai use the same engine. The note is also available with the lower powered version of the same basic engine (differences in turbo and injection system but it’s same basic thing since 2001)

Anyone know if the early Qashqai's have a DPF. I heard somewhere that they only got them in late 2009.

Well gear box fly wheel injectors turbo could go bang any day with such milage on it

Well alot can happen in a year such as turno injectors anything big like that cost to get them fixed would be half the value of the car maybe lol

That could happen on a 2.0 engine too.

Any diesel is a risk. If you’re not doing the mileage then petrol is a safer bet.

I have a 2007 Qashqai at just over 350k km and still going strong. It’s a Petrol though but never has it given me very much trouble. A new clutch six months ago is the biggest splurge she’s received.

Bought it at 210k km with very little service history but serviced it on the button since I got it.

Would highly recommend them and are a good solid car. For the diesel I’d check it has gotten a timing belt change.

Ya I suppose it's just I know alot of people that have 1.9 2.0 engine and there gone well over 200k and there engines haven't skipped a beat all diesel engines seem to be rugged but theres others are far more rugged than others

Old school diesels were rugged. Modern ones are ticking time bombs in comparison regardless of size.
