2021 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium Dig T

CarHunch is tracking 130 2021 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium Dig T vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

The 2021 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium Dig-T posts an 81.9% first-time pass rate, marginally ahead of the UK average of 80%, with zero vehicles in this cohort ever recording a dangerous defect—a clean safety record. The "Other" fuel variant (which represents 107 of the 130 cars tested) achieves an exceptional 99.5% pass rate, suggesting this powertrain is proving particularly robust.

At a median mileage of just over 30,000 miles for a 2021 model, these cars are running well within typical wear expectations, and the near-zero failure and advisory rates (0.01 and 0.0 per vehicle respectively) confirm they're encountering minimal mechanical problems in their first few years. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible practice, but this generation is showing early signs of solid durability.

What to check before buying a 2021 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Premium Dig T

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
