    My daughter-in-law has a lot newer one and your description of the owners is so accurate especially the bit about McDonalds! The car is quite nice to drive, but I wouldn't buy one. I've just changed an injector for her...the dealer wanted about £430 just for the injector. I bought a genuine part from a diesel specialist for £193. Beware the Nissan dealers will rip you off!! I'd be concerned that the car failed an MOT on rear chassis rust as Nissan is Japanese for rust.

    Your monologue in the first few minutes was spot on. My partner has a 2009 Qashqai and yes, if left to her own devices it would be neglected and unserviced. However I'm a pizza delivery driver and often use the Nissan (was an IT pro for 30 years before that so no should have done better at school jokes necessary) and love the high position where I can just slide out, whereas when in my Mazda 2 and my 51 year old dodgy knees, I tend to fall out as opposed to climb out. Therefore I look after it, check all the fluids and other necessaries and it's running superbly, doesn't smell of stale milk and doesn't look like a self moving dumpster.

Leather seats that aren't ripped, a massive sun roof, Heated seats, Nice alloys, Front fog lights and all the buttons at your finger tips fitted to the steering wheel....and of course a CLEAN M.O.T. but it depends on what your Mechanic sees...looking forward to the next upload on same.

      Hi Matt. I'd be tempted to wait 'til your mechanic has given it the once over (you're only waiting a day or two) If it's good news retail it....if it's not then move it along in the trade. It actually looks/sounds ok and a cheap 4x4 in your area might be just the job for someone. At the moment it's not owing you much, though I'd stick a new battery in it to avoid the obvious disastrous failure to start. Please let us know on here how it goes. Thanks for all this year's fascinating videos. Every good wish for the New Year, hope it's a good 'un for you. Cheers Roj.

    Hello mate! Honestly it looks WAY better after the valet and nothing looks really wrong bar the window switch cluster at the front. Otherwise it looks pretty sorted and being the more desirable 4WD 2.0 dCi model I'd do it up and sell it for the 2.5K it commands as the investment required to turn it around is minimal both cost and time-wise.

    If Matt's mechanic finds a lot of parts & labour went into getting this Qashqai through its last MOT, then surely the question of how to dispose of it is easily answered? The clues are the wiper blades, the four good, matching tyres and the fact that all the electrical stuff seems to work, apart from one window switch. The spec. is desirable, and it looks good after its 30-pound valet. Retail it, count da money, and keep your fingers crossed!

    A fine example of English craftsmanship. Built by artisan lads in Sunderland. Nearly everyone who works at Nissan has one under their workers' discount scheme , so you see loads of them on the roads of the North East. I'd never buy one as I'm more of a 'luxobarge' type of fella, but I know loads of people who would jump at the chance of a cheap workhorse/kiddycarrier like that. Actually one of my favourite videos as I think you slowly fell in love with it haha. I'd flog it retail myself, should make £2K+ every day of the week, but I'm not the one on the other end of a phone dealing with someone complaining the second a wiper starts to judder.

As you alluded to, it’s the owners rather than the cars that are the issue (the same for BMW’s TBH). I worked at NMUK for getting on for 30 years, so probably biased, but they are well built (the 3-mis & 12-mis confirms this). Glad to see your reticence with this early example was partially unfounded and hope that Nissans British built cars that sell extremely well are given and honest review, which we all appreciate.

      they aren't always wind deflectors - In Australia, in Feb it's 30 deg C ... almost every day ... and sudden severe rain is a regular occurence. If you park your car outside for a few hours it can be over 55 degrees inside when you get back in - where if you leave the windows cracked the worst of the heat can escape BUT that means you may come back to a soaked car (if it poured rain) with these you can leave the window cracked , discretely

    Great video as always, its certainly the best Qashqai I've ever seen. At 2500 it'd make quite a good cheap workhorse for someone to use for the next couple of years, and has a few genuinely nice luxuries, it'll be semi reliable, being a Nissan, and being a Nissan it will be fairly cheap to run. good car for the likes of a builder or someone similar who needs a cheap practical workhorse to get him to and from work, and a car that doesn't matter if its always dirty or gets scuffed up.

    We had 2 of these (my wife still wants us to have a 3rd)
    Both from available car.
    First was a 13 plate 1.6dci tekna.
    Did everything well (especially after a remap and having the steering wheel recovered and made fatter by Royal steering wheels ) but nissan didn't think about the cabin at night, sod all illumination other than the window switches. I fitted 2 modules,1 to auto fold the mirrors when locked (fitted as standard on our later 16 plate) and 1 that allows auto closing/ opening of the windows from the key fob when locked (again fitted by the factory on our 16 plate).
    Then we had a 16 plate 1.5 dci tekna, much nicer interior (but the same nav screen) ability to park itself (if you had te to push all the buttons)
    Tyres (while we didn't need any) we're expensive as they are not a popular size.
    In summery, a car that does everything just well enough,and the raised seat high is nice for loading kid seats and oap's into it.

      Terrible cars, the entire segment really. Cant go off road with that fake fwd based 4wd, wouldnt trust it in snow either. Interior space of a Renault Megane, built by Renault too so no Japanese quality. Tall so worse cornering while using more fuel. The only "pro" would be raised seats to load crotch goblins faster, but is bending over so hard are you 80?

    Regarding the seat belt cover:
    My mum has one of those. I hate it myself but she's getting up there in age and she's quite thin so the seat belt cuts literally into her while driving.
    She was putting a scarf between herself and the seat belt but that can be quite unsafe when you're driving and it get's entangled in your arm when steering.
    So as much as it pains me those seat belt covers are the better alternative.
