Second-hand car question - Nissan and Renault

It's hard to say because I know people with different experiences… Do you frequently travel on the motorway? If not, I would NOT buy a car with this engine. As a lot of Diesel engines from these years are very sensitive and you can get issues with injectors and DPF… So, if you do not drive the car every week in a high speed it is more likely to experience problems… The engine itself is not BAD, but a lot of people face these issues. Maybe worth buying one of these cars with full service history and warranty. If you purchase it for smaller journeys I think it's too risky.

Seems like everyone wants these at the moment. Whenever I enquire about a medium/high spec one its gone. Plenty of base spec around though.

Have a ten year old petrol Qashqai, bought it six years ago, and it really is a brilliant car. Worth considering if you see one

1.2l engine with a turbo. There's a slight turbo lag when you try to accelerate hard but otherwise it's a great engine

Never had any bother with the car, really nice to drive, nice interior etc. it's not the most exciting car in the world but I'm delighted with it. In fact, my main issue is how good is is, I'm kind of pining a new car but can't justify it until something goes wrong with this one 🤣

I remember thinking it was very good when I got it but haven't thought about it much recently 😋

Fuel tank is apparently 55 litres (assuming Google was right there, costs about €100 to fill from empty so that seems right) and the dashboard display says about 730km when full, I think that's pretty accurate for my driving (usually about half hour journeys, don't drive much). Not sure how that compares to other cars

that's not high mileage at all, you might be better off with a petrol car instead.

Petrol car will be cheaper to buy and lower mileage
