The NISSAN QASHQAI (2010-15) 5DR SUV 4WD 2.0 DCI DPF 150 EU5 TEKNA 6SPD is a family-sized crossover, easier to park than a large SUV, with a raised driving position and five-door practicality. In the UK, it helped popularise this middle ground, competing with the Kia Sportage and Hyundai ix35. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 202 look-ups across 87 distinct VINs, a useful sample of vehicles checked. The average private-sale valuation is £3,400, with average recorded mileage of 112,000 miles and annual use of 8,000 miles. Checks also show an average of about four previous keepers, so reviewing each car’s history and condition matters. This diesel Tekna suits families and commuters wanting four-wheel-drive reassurance, strong pulling power and a well-equipped cabin; it is less suited to short urban trips. Compared with front-wheel-drive rivals, its added traction is appealing, while a mycarcheck vehicle check can help assess each car before making a purchase.
