Nissan Qashqai Visia (2010)
2010 Nissan Qashqai Visia
CarHunch analysed 158 real MOT records for the 2010 Nissan Qashqai Visia. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Nissan Qashqai Visia has a first-time pass rate of just 63.2%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which signals this model struggled with reliability at this age and mileage. The good news is that no vehicles in this sample ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern here.
With median mileage sitting at 85,394 miles for a 14-year-old car, these Qashqais have been used normally, yet they're still averaging 1.38 failures per test—mostly wear-and-tear issues rather than serious structural problems. If you're considering one, budget for repair work before purchase and have a pre-buy inspection focus on common failure areas; the low advisory count suggests problems tend to be failures rather than early warnings.
What to check before buying a 2010 Nissan Qashqai Visia
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.
