The NISSAN QASHQAI (2007-10) 5DR SUV 2WD 2.0 VISIA CVT AUTO is a family-sized crossover: a practical five-door with a higher, SUV-like stance, but front-wheel drive and car-like ease around town. It helped make compact crossovers popular in Britain, offering a useful middle ground between a conventional hatchback and a larger, bulkier SUV. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 482 checks covering 220 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of used examples. Their average private-sale valuation is £2,100, with average recorded mileage of 98,000 and about 6,000 miles driven yearly. The data also shows around four previous keepers on average, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. The 2.0-litre petrol engine and CVT automatic suit those wanting easy motoring, while cabin space and raised seating appeal to families and commuters. Visia is a basic trim, so compare equipment and costs with rivals such as the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V before buying.
