The NISSAN QASHQAI+2 (2009-10) 5DR SUV 2WD 1.5 DCI N-TEC 6SPD is a diesel family SUV with seven-seat flexibility, sitting between a hatchback and a larger people carrier. In the UK, it helped popularise compact SUVs, combining a raised driving position and practical shape with less bulk than a full-size 4x4. It suits families needing occasional extra seats, as well as commuters who want a comfortable, useful daily car; the third row is handy when needed, while the 1.5 dCi diesel is aimed at keeping fuel stops manageable. N-TEC trim gives this Qashqai+2 a well-equipped feel, and the six-speed manual makes motorway journeys relaxed. In mycarcheck.com data, 390 checks covered 142 VINs. Checked cars averaged 118,000 miles, 8,000 annual miles and nearly four previous keepers; the private-sale valuation averaged £2,800. Against rivals like Toyota RAV4, it stands out for seven-seat practicality in a compact footprint, though condition matters most here.
