Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 217,677 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the J11-generation Qashqai (common in Ireland) and many 2016 diesels use Renault-sourced diesel engines with a manual gearbox — mechanically simple but fitted with a DPF and EGR. Expect good parts availability and strong demand on the used market, but watch for DPF/EGR/turbo carbon issues if the car has been used for short urban trips; also check clutch condition on a 10‑year-old manual. AWD was an optional extra on some models, so confirm drive layout if you need traction.
- DPF and EGR behaviour: look for frequent regeneration events, heavy smoke on acceleration or the dash DPF warning (clogging is common if mostly short trips).
- Turbo condition: test for boost build-up, unusual whistle, rattles or oil leaks from turbo/intercooler pipes under load.
- Clutch feel and judder: check for slipping, a high biting point or judder signs (dual‑mass flywheel symptoms can be costly to fix).
- Manual gearbox operation: ensure gears select cleanly (no notchy synchro in 2nd/3rd) and listen for bearings or grind under load.
- Underbody and rear wheelarch seams: inspect for corrosion around sills, rear arches and suspension mounting points and check for worn suspension bushes/knocks.
