Nissan Qashqai

I,m just looking at one of these a 2016 Diesel Auto, and was wondering if any owners are here and are they reliable with 60k miles on them? thx.

Reliable enough, provided the vehicle has maintained a good service history.
It's a chain driven engine on the 1.6dci so no cambelt to worry about and 60k on a diesel is nothing.

Thanks Milk . probably best to buy from a MD then .

The Mrs' company car is a 2017 Qashqai (diesel/manual). Done just over 50k now and it's been reliable. Only things I can recall going wrong is a rubber gasket around the windscreen fell off and the AC had a leak.

It's our family car and for what it is I like it. Only criticism is the OE Continental tyres were awful on wet/greasy back roads once they were half worn. Lasted nigh on 40k IIRC; obviously a hard wearing compound! Even the Mrs could tell the PS4 that replaced them were much better.

Thank you Zarco!

Probably had a screen. The factory, or properly fitted ones don't just fall out like that.

It was delivered to us new by Alphabet with only delivery miles on it. It's not had a screen with us.

It broke loose across the top of the screen. First I knew of it, it was flapping around knocking on the roof in the wind. I ripped it off after a few futile attempts at tucking it back in, and told the Mrs to get it sorted at the next service. She didn't bother so its been without it for ages to no ill effect.

It's the Mrs company car so if she's not bothered about things they don't get fixed.

Which reminds of something else. The clutch pedal started making a funny squeak when it was cold when the car was a couple of years old. Went on for ages but I think it's actually stopped doing it now.
