Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai - J11 (2013–2017)

Post by Grin factor »

Morning all.
Looking to change my car and yesterday after a test drive of the Mokka X, tried a Qashqai Acenta premium 1.6 D. It’s 3 years old k25 on the clock fish, asking 12995 for it. Drives okay and will be used for towing a 2 berth caravan.
But, after reading a few threads on here, I’m beginning to wonder if I should leave it
I would appreciate any advice to help me make up my mind. The dealer is Wylam garage in Hexham
Thank you.

You would probably get a better deal at Durham where we got our QQ.

Why do you think you should "leave it"?

Thank you. We were in Hexham for the day when we came across the dealer there.
I'll have a look at Durhams website, see what they have in.

After reading many threads on here about reliability etc, I don't want to buy a car and then have problems.
Hence joining a forum to get other people's views/opinions, which may help me decide.

I think most car forums are focused on the niggles and faults of the car, go and have a look on a BMW forum I think you will find it the same. There are lots of QQs out on the roads and people keep buying them.

I wondered whether there was anything specific.

You should certainly query the history of the air-conditioning since condenser failure seems a very common fault.

I've attached a contemporary brochure featuring that trim level.
