Hi. I am purchasing from car dealership nissan qashqai tekna 14 plate. 1.5 diesel engine.
It has 95000 miles on a clock. I want to ask what things I should be looking at before purchasing it, as as I mentioned it has quite a big mileage. Didnt find out all technical details yet, but know that timing belt should be changed before 90k miles and etc. Anything else I should be looking at ? Dont want to get myself into trouble with this car. thanks.

If it's a 14 reg then cam belt should be changed twice by now ideally. If not then it will need doing soon, factor in around £300 for that.

As much service history as you can get & a 12 month warranty minimum.

Car been used as a courtesy car before that. So been droven by different people. Is clutch should be changed by now?
Car price is 9500. Is it worth to buy in general on that high mileage as I am concidering to keep it for next 6-7 years for myself.

I know when I get a courtesy car I don't drive it the same as my own, so.....

Depends where you are & if you're prepared to travel. Most Tekna models that age are higher mileage for that money. If you drop down the model range you get much lower mileage cars for the money.

Depends if you're set on a Tekna, I know I was when I was looking.

Have 14 reg focus zetec at the moment. I travel a lot for work and stuff. Doing about 16k a year. Thats the reason want to change car to something bigger and deasel engine. Just worring a little big if qq not gonna start falling apart in a year or two when clock will hit 120k miles.

Don't know if anyone on here has a J11 near that sort of mileage. If you do 16k a year, in the 6-7 years of ownership you will need to change a lot of stuff. But that would be the same with any car on 180k.
