As a rule, yes, and particularly the simpler engines. The naturally aspirated 1.6 petrol in the older Qashqai and Note, and the 1.2 in the Micra, are timing-chain engines with no particulate filter and very little to go wrong. The turbocharged and diesel engines are more capable but ask more of the service history. On any Nissan at this age, a stamped book or a folder of garage invoices tells you more than the badge does.
The Qashqai, for most people. It gives you a 430-litre boot, a high driving position and enough rear space for three across the back at a pinch. The Note is the surprise alternative: it is smaller outside but has sliding rear seats and more rear legroom than cars a class above. The Juke is the one to rule out if you regularly carry adults in the back or need boot space.
No, and this is one of the better reasons to buy one. Nissan sold these in very large numbers in the UK, so parts are plentiful and cheap, and every independent garage in Berkshire has worked on a Qashqai. Servicing costs are in line with a Ford or a Vauxhall and well below a German equivalent.
The Micra, on almost every measure. It sits in a low insurance group, uses very little fuel, and the 1.2 petrol is about as simple as a modern engine gets. If you need the space, the Note 1.2 is the next cheapest, and a petrol Qashqai after that.
Usually several. Nissan is the make we stock most of, and a good share of our stock sits under £5,000, typically Qashqai, Note, Micra and Juke. Stock changes weekly, so call 07348 590631 to check what is on the forecourt today.
It can be, and often represents better value than a low-mileage car with gaps in its history. A diesel Qashqai with 120,000 motorway miles and a full service record is frequently in better mechanical condition than one with 70,000 short urban miles, because motorway running is easier on the engine and keeps the particulate filter clear. Judge the service record and the MOT history rather than the odometer alone.
