2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2 DiG-T Tekna 5dr Hatchback Petrol Manual

Description

I’ve had this Nissan Qashq-ai for a few years now and it’s been a solid daily driver. It’s a 2018 model with the 1.2 DiG-T engine and manual transmission — not flashy, but gets the job done. The interior is fairly modern for its time, with that nice leather trim, heated door mirrors, and a Bose 8-speaker system. I’ve actually been pretty happy with how it handles, especially on the twisty bits around innerleithen.

It’s got loads of tech that’s actually useful — around view monitor, blind spot warning, lane departure alert, traffic sign recognition, and a decent sat-nav. The radio is DAB-ready and works well with my phone via Bluetooth. I’ve used the smartphone apps a few times and it’s pretty smooth. There’s also a USB/aux port, so I can plug in my phone or a tablet when I need to.

The seats are comfy, especially with the lumbar support and dual zone climate control. I’ve used the rear seat for kids and it folds down easily. The boot space is decent, and there’s a luggage board that I’ve customised to fit my gear better.

I’ve kept it well maintained — no major issues, just regular service checks. It’s got the full safety package: ABS, airbags, ESP, parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, and even a remote lock system. The windows go up and down with a touch, and the wipers auto-adjust when it rains.

It’s not a luxury car, but it’s reliable, practical, and I’ve driven it through a lot of different weather and roads around here. The price is £9,891 — not much for what it is, honestly.

I’m moving house and don’t need it anymore, so I’m letting it go. It’s not a show car, just a car I’ve used every day. If you're looking for something reliable with good tech and a bit of comfort, this might be worth a look. No haggling, just a straightforward handover.
