This 2019 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium diesel is a concerning proposition at first test: just 57.5% of vehicles pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, and the diesel variant fares no better at 56.7%. However, the complete absence of dangerous defects across all 565 vehicles tested is a genuine bright spot that suggests safety-critical systems are holding up.

The median mileage of 47,362 miles is reasonable for a five-year-old car, yet the failure rate suggests these diesels are developing mechanical problems earlier than expected for their age and usage. With almost no advisories recorded, failures tend to be outright defects rather than wear items, so budget for repairs before your test rather than hopeful patch jobs—get a pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist before committing to one of these.

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium DCI passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.9% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
