How the car is removed makes no difference, what matters is declaring the faults. The law is about not deceiving consumers.

With 160,000 miles, a chequered mot history, hardly no service history, wheels, bodywork and a large bill at your mechanic's, I don't think it's worth it 😂 Hopefully there's someone out there that would like to do the work 🥴 Great video, Matt. Thank you
I dont usually entertain paid promotions but after watching a fair few videos I decided I would use the 20% off and have a look if there was any skeletons on my car I didn't think there would be as I had used a similar thing a couple years ago, thankfully it got 4 green ticks but alarming it pinged up 3 recalls (not received any thing in the post ect) called up the main dealer and it's booked in for a steering module, a traction control update and an engine ECM reprogramming next week for free of course, for a £24 car check it was a massive win tbh.
The mot check page rarely shows vehicle recalls even if the they have been done. Which means it is up to the manufacturer to provide the government with the relevant recall information.
Take into account should have a major service with cambelt, water pump and fresh coolant/anti-freeze. Also change brake fluid. With the damage rear door and rear quarter might be best sell it for parts.
Sell it spares or repairs as if someone can fix the mechanical issues themselves it's not that expensive to sort, pads, discs, a load of ball joints and a wiper motor along with a few part-worn tyres £300 tops
Really enjoyed your Mazda CX30 video the other day. Can we have more of those please. Pulled up beside one on the way to work this morning….you’re so right about the rough sounding engine!
LOL They are smooth and virtually silent. Definitely not rough. They are a bit noisy on a cold start due the AWS (higher initial idle speed) but that disappears after about 6 or seven seconds. VW TSi engines are similar.
nissan tech here... those engines have a habit of blowing oil filters off due to a faulty oil pump, so the engine is the best bit, even with that mileage, + the bonus is that intact plinth at rear... its £200 to fix airbag, [worn out coupling behind the steering wheel], so, with the hitlist, deffo dead...
Hey bud. You know anything about the newer (probably not the latest) and their sensors going? Happy to pay you a little to understand what is going on. Cheers
A replacement non gen clockspring is about £30 and half an hour or so to replace. Airbag sorted! Done a good few of them on my driveway, and I'm certainly no mechanic!

Hi there. Greetings from the west of Ireland. I had a 2007 model, pre facelift. 1.6 petrol. Great engine from Nissan and not the Renault diesel. My wipers packed up and I had to replace the motor. Your mechanic may turn off the airbag light off but my guess is that it’ll reappear, like mine did. I had to replace the clockspring on the centre of the steering wheel. Second hand parts are not recommended because they will inevitably fail also, so I repaired with new. I ran it for another few years. It failed the NCT (MOT) on a corroded rear subframe. I had it welded but it only lasted a year and failed the following year, when I finally scrapped it. Testers in Ireland specifically examined the subframe as it was a known issue. If your car is from the NW of England, I suspect it’ll have similar issues due to the road salt. They were a fine car for their time, but are getting rare on the road now due to so many being uneconomical to repair. If I were you, I’d scrap that one. It’ll only break your heart!
@@damcyk4 Thing with the Qashqai, especially the J10 though the J11 isn't great for it either, in inclement conditions like a damp twisty rural road it feels like it is on the edge - like it is about to get away from you due to the high centre of gravity and suspension setup, etc. while it actually handles it better than it feels it is quite unnerving. People (or at least used to) tend to think of an SUV as something suited to using in more rural areas, etc. but stuff like the 4Motion Tiguan do that much more reassuringly. Sadly most of the mainstream "SUVs"/crossovers are just a regular car lifted a bit and if anything less suited to the kind of use you'd think an SUV was intended for.
That was a really good idea to keep it as a donor car. I would love to come and start stripping it for you and catalogue and store the parts on shelves. Also, liked that video the other day where you did two cars,one OK and the other was scrap.
500 Quid - spares or repair. I owned a Qashqai once - very nice car. I maintained it in tip-top condition. The only reason I sold it was because I wanted an automatic. I bought myself an old E Class Coupe - now there's a beautiful car.
5:02 given de report all the advisory items above should have been fixed but that seems unlikely to me. Could it be that they went to another MOT station? I’m just a curious Dutchman.
My 2010 2.0dci has 180k plus on clock , has had a wiper motor , has the tailgate modification/ upgrade . It has a timing chain . Had it since new and although got a new Sportage late 21 to replace it , it's still here and I use it mostly if at home . Like a comfy pair of slippers 😂 however it still can get along quickly and is decent on fuel too. I may send a video report . I certainly wouldn't part with it for 500 quid lol
Hi Matt, I wouldn't bother sinking more money into it. 60k+ miles without a service could mean engine troubles are not far away and as a dealer you might end up footing the bill. Sell it for parts!
Owner might have serviced it or mate for cash, a diesel should do double that mileage. I never thought twice about paying that sort of money when my Mercedes went in for a service at a specialist. Would be great as a dog car or for someone who works outdoors.
Great video HPA,I had one, didn't really like it, great body work, rotten as a pear underneath, expensive to put right 🙄, keep it for a donor car, would come in handy for you 👌👍😀
Absolutely love these vids of cheap cars! I've an imaginary tick list for every cheap car video... Car vertical.. check.... Tyres.... Check... Reg plates... Check... You all know the rest 😂
We Bought a 2011 Diesel Techna In August. 136K but a beautifully specced car, Heated leather, sat Nav ( 19 quid to update on Ebay ) Bose Surround sound, Panoramic roof. In Fact all the toys. Give 2.5 K and a small trade in
I’ve got a 1.5 Nissan Qashqui 2010 on a 60 plate. First car, needed one big enough for work. Great car, needed a few repairs this week , but overall great sturdy car.
Having just px'd a 2010 insignia which needed disks pads headlights service, oil seal on pump and 140k, there is only one option thats viable at this point, break for parts and return money to invest in more saleable cars! Enjoy your varied content👍
honestly, if it needs £600 of work, it's probably best to pass it on to someone else as a cheap run about who doesn't mind doing a bit of work on their car. clearly has a bit of life left in it yet, but being on 162k, its most likely not worth it for a car to retail
Wiper motor is a common issue too. Drain holes below windscreen get blocked and water ends up draining into the motor. It's quite easy to replace yourself.
As somebody from Slovenia, EU I'm stunned how people treat their cars in the UK. I have never seen cars so neglected here in Slovenia. We love our cars. Perhaps even to much sometimes.
Hi Matt. Not worth fixing this one. Love watching your videos. Just found you recently while recovering from a knee replacement. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Advertise the number plate to the farming community, I'd guess you'd get 3-400 quid... there's loads of farmers up here in the Lakes and Dales have vehicles with EWE and TUP plates. Then scrap it!
I had the seven seater version of this car bought new in 2011 and sold last January with 206,500 miles on it. A common fault is the turbo intake pipe which is a plastic unit that snaps in half, in my case every two years on average. Its an easy 5 minute fix for a DIY mechanic but I started carrying a spare one in the car after getting stranded 20 miles from home and waiting 4 hours for a tow truck as the car had gone into limp mode and then shut down. Rear wheel bearings are also fairly common issues and I had to replace both of mine twice over the lifetime of the car. Apart from routine maintenance (which I do myself every 6,000 miles), I had no other issues with it. Yes its a boring car but as I have 5 kids, the seven seats were needed. Oh and it was also very economical and I averaged 50mpg.
Very true 👍 I got exactly the same opinion about qashqai and juke all have been abused well usually own by ppl who know nothing about cars unfortunately 🙄 Good video again 👍 Regards
Facelift Quashai looks ok. Dont fix dents, rest from the list to do it . Its not scrap car. Maybe not huge profit from it but worth for save it from car grinder.
i thought you might have brought it to ensure there is one less Qashqai on the road a sort of public service you perform😆 Think you could spend quite a bit on this and you would still be left with a high mileage old thing where more things will break soon enough - parts car or scrap yard gets my vote!
The generation of QashQai is really good...the mk2 which I love the look of is the opposite. My neighbour had the mk1 for 8 trouble free years bought mk2 and every month something new went bad
Hi Matt, have you ever had a previous owner contact you about your comments on the condition of the car you made on your initial inspection? Or have you heard nothing since they are too embarrassed to defend their cars condition? Great video-watch them all. I even bought a Toyota Aris (as boring as hell) based on your evaluation of cheap reliable cars under £5k. Cost me nothing so far other than servicing so thanks. But one day it has to be a Jag on the driveway! Cheers Carl
Keep it and raid it for bits as and when you need it. There's too much wrong with it to warrant saving it, but it can be used to keep other Qashqai's on the road.
I don’t know alot about cars but here in South Africa when these were out they sold in numbers. The engine you got there is solid and reliable I reckon for 700kwid fix it as I think it’s a 2300 Pound vehicle for sure and some decent small family would definitely buy it. You definitely can get your money back with this one and it’s nice spec 👊🏽🙏🏽
I do like the qushqui but at least a 2014 plate model if I was you I would get the wheels refurbished and sell them off or just like you said keep it as a spares car it's to high mileage to be viable and needs a cam belt can't save them all, great video though 👌👍
Hi matt how about a fix or spares deal for someone with a bit of DIY experience could make a little bit out of it more than scrapping ? Good channel keep it coming 👍
They're not a great drive but fine cruising on a motorway. 60+ MPG easy. Problems will be, tailgate, fuel injectors, DPF, timing/cam belt. That's 3,000 minimum if not already done. I have a red one 136k and face all these issues.. real work horse though. Happy to swap parts.
I would have bought it off you as is (I would be willing to negotiate a bit of profit on your side, of course) and just do the work myself. Everything you mentioned, including the airbag, are EASY fixes. I can change suspension bits and pieces all day long. And resetting the codes doesn't usually require much more than a simple code reader but even if it does, bi-directional dealer-level scan tools are getting cheaper and cheaper every day. Thank you, China!
I would save it as they are a popular car. You could always make it 100 percent then run a free competition to attract some new punters to your showroom to make a monthly give away .
This is actually quite a decent looking small SUV - we don't get these in the States but it's pretty nice looking actually- it's got a lot of options on it - is this a decent car normally? This kind of looks like the Rogue sport that we had here but Nissan discontinued recently
You can sort the airbag light for £30. The airbag light, and noisy syeering wheel is a failed clockspring. I'll bet the wheel mounted electrical buttons dont work too. Non-genuine clockspring is about £30 and takes half an hour to replace. Even all done, it cna owe you about a grand, and its worth £1500 to anyone needing a family motor that costs buttons to tax and insure. 👌
Woah!! at 20:10 a Renault VEL-SATIS!! cool. Please do a video on that! also are there any legal problems with putting up the Nissan as a "no warranty sold as seen" , being absolutely honest with the buyer who will probably DIY the repairs.......and sell it for 600 quid?
As an ex valeter, I did a lot of these. All were neglected beyond belief. I only ever had one couple who had three of them on lease over time. Apart from my valeting skills making them look mint, they always kept up with routine mechanical maintenance too.
I bought the Wife one, in 2010, same colour and year as that one. It never went wrong, not one issue. If the passenger side was better, it would have changed my mind to saving it. Cheers Mat (PS: I still have the original Nissan locking roof rack in my shed if anyone wants to give £50.00 for it)......lol
To a mechanic its a doddle to do the balljoints and track rod end, same goes for the wiper motor and freeing up the rear brake. The tyres would be the most expensive part tbh (I won't put chinese tyres on anything, false economy given mid range stuff like nexen or uniroyal won't cost much more). I've never liked cashcows really, dacia duster is better imho. Not seen you sell any pickups in a while, I guess they're not that common though
It had 4 mats in it ... 3 floor + you

My knowledge of cheap Chinese tyres is so good now, I'm considering entering Mastermind with it as my specialist subject.

Scrap, not worth the effort
"how far before 4 Chinese tyres see you in the ditch?"
"Yes"
"Correct"
Your taking the cars to the valeter's only to send them off to the scrapyard immediately aftwards is sort of like a final service before a funeral.
I'd flog it as a fixer upper to someone who can do the work themselves. It runs and has a clutch so it must be worth £700 on that basis.
Not worth the liability
If sold spares or repair and it must be tailored away then no liability.
How the car is removed makes no difference, what matters is declaring the faults. The law is about not deceiving consumers. Sold with that report from the mechanic no judge would rule against you in small claims. Whether you get an a hole client trying it on though is anyone's guess. No profit in it retail.
Scrap it or keep it rusting in the yard for parts. Not worth it. Someone will want to haggle down due to near side rear damage.

The generation of QashQai is really good...the mk2 which I love the look of is the opposite. My neighbour had the mk1 for 8 trouble free years bought mk2 and every month something new went bad
Scrap it...
That pan roof is so nice.
Scrap it. The less of these on the roads the better.
yes make more room for electric cars
@@Luckyjo21 whatever floats your boat
Just had my Focus weather strips replaced it wasn’t cheap.

Hi Matt, have you ever had a previous owner contact you about your comments on the condition of the car you made on your initial inspection? Or have you heard nothing since they are too embarrassed to defend their cars condition? Great video-watch them all. I even bought a Toyota Aris (as boring as hell) based on your evaluation of cheap reliable cars under £5k. Cost me nothing so far other than servicing so thanks. But one day it has to be a Jag on the driveway! Cheers Carl
Love my acenta as a second car for work etc , it's not cost effective but refurbed alloys and donor vehicle 👍 sat nav wud be worth a few quid
On a positive note; the aerial looks in good nick . . . . . .
great video, very fair good advice
had a few of these with the usual rear handle but non nails waterproof does the job
Keep it and raid it for bits as and when you need it. There's too much wrong with it to warrant saving it, but it can be used to keep other Qashqai's on the road.
I don’t know alot about cars but here in South Africa when these were out they sold in numbers. The engine you got there is solid and reliable I reckon for 700kwid fix it as I think it’s a 2300 Pound vehicle for sure and some decent small family would definitely buy it. You definitely can get your money back with this one and it’s nice spec 👊🏽🙏🏽
clockspring is common to fail on these cars will stop the wipers and bring airbag light on
I do like the qushqui but at least a 2014 plate model if I was you I would get the wheels refurbished and sell them off or just like you said keep it as a spares car it's to high mileage to be viable and needs a cam belt can't save them all, great video though 👌👍
Hi matt how about a fix or spares deal for someone with a bit of DIY experience could make a little bit out of it more than scrapping ? Good channel keep it coming 👍
They're not a great drive but fine cruising on a motorway. 60+ MPG easy. Problems will be, tailgate, fuel injectors, DPF, timing/cam belt. That's 3,000 minimum if not already done. I have a red one 136k and face all these issues.. real work horse though. Happy to swap parts.
I would have bought it off you as is (I would be willing to negotiate a bit of profit on your side, of course) and just do the work myself. Everything you mentioned, including the airbag, are EASY fixes. I can change suspension bits and pieces all day long. And resetting the codes doesn't usually require much more than a simple code reader but even if it does, bi-directional dealer-level scan tools are getting cheaper and cheaper every day. Thank you, China!
Helps keep the wolf from the door so to speak..Matt..what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Romiley town centre?
I would save it as they are a popular car. You could always make it 100 percent then run a free competition to attract some new punters to your showroom to make a monthly give away .
This is actually quite a decent looking small SUV - we don't get these in the States but it's pretty nice looking actually- it's got a lot of options on it - is this a decent car normally? This kind of looks like the Rogue sport that we had here but Nissan discontinued recently
“A suspiciously curly hair “ : classic Matt observation! Move it on to someone in the trade or scrap it . Great video.
You can sort the airbag light for £30. The airbag light, and noisy syeering wheel is a failed clockspring. I'll bet the wheel mounted electrical buttons dont work too. Non-genuine clockspring is about £30 and takes half an hour to replace. Even all done, it cna owe you about a grand, and its worth £1500 to anyone needing a family motor that costs buttons to tax and insure. 👌
Woah!! at 20:10 a Renault VEL-SATIS!! cool. Please do a video on that! also are there any legal problems with putting up the Nissan as a "no warranty sold as seen" , being absolutely honest with the buyer who will probably DIY the repairs.......and sell it for 600 quid?
The airbag light is a common issue on Nissans, it is usually the connector under the seat that has a contact problem.
Flashing airbag light is clock spring behind steering wheel mine did it as well replaced clock spring and cured it
You sounded like Larry Grayson, "Look under the door handle" made me laugh.... top man
"Eee, look at the muck in 'ere!"
16:39 XJ to your right Matt 😍
Bashed in near-side, mismatched tyres and an interior full of short & curlies. Matt, you know how to pick 'em! 😂
Nice vid, Matt but you haven't said what you might be a le to sell it for if fixed. I get the idea of keeping it for spares though.
As an ex valeter, I did a lot of these. All were neglected beyond belief. I only ever had one couple who had three of them on lease over time. Apart from my valeting skills making them look mint, they always kept up with routine mechanical maintenance too.
Shout out from Serbia.
In mainland Europe they go for 4000 to 6000 Euros with that mileage. But they usualy are kept way better.
break it. one less bland suv on the road is a win for the rest of us. thanks !
Defo use the cash cow for spares to flog on to get your money back , That is the best for it .
I bought the Wife one, in 2010, same colour and year as that one.
It never went wrong, not one issue.
If the passenger side was better, it would have changed my mind to saving it.
Cheers Mat
(PS: I still have the original Nissan locking roof rack in my shed if anyone wants to give £50.00 for it)......lol
Hi Matt, doing well thanks and welcome back fella.
Matt mate, out it to one of your mates, it’s 160k so it’ll never be retail or donor it like you said? You’ll get your £500 back easy I reckon 👍
To a mechanic its a doddle to do the balljoints and track rod end, same goes for the wiper motor and freeing up the rear brake. The tyres would be the most expensive part tbh (I won't put chinese tyres on anything, false economy given mid range stuff like nexen or uniroyal won't cost much more). I've never liked cashcows really, dacia duster is better imho. Not seen you sell any pickups in a while, I guess they're not that common though
When an airbag light flashes, it has codes, needs repair. Wiper linkage, seizes on those...scrap it.
Had one as a hire car once. Quite liked it. Great vid Matt
