Nissan Qashqai (2019)
2019 Nissan Qashqai
CarHunch analysed 49,550 real MOT records for the 2019 Nissan Qashqai. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Nissan Qashqai is a solid performer, with a 90.3% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%—petrol versions edge ahead at 91.1% versus 89.0% for diesels. However, 17.6% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth factoring into your inspection checklist, particularly around brake and suspension components.
At a median mileage of just over 30,000 miles for cars now five years old, these Qashqais are running below average wear, suggesting generally careful ownership. The typical car picks up 0.54 failures and 4.3 advisories per test, pointing to minor wear rather than structural problems—so before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the advisory items (likely consumables like brake pads and filters) and confirm the service history is complete.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 2.1 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2019 Nissan Qashqai
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.
