Why a pre-purchase inspection matters for the Nissan Qashqai
Small faults compound. A worn component here and a soft battery there add up to a bill that can dwarf the cost of the inspection that would have caught them.
Hidden repairs and cleared warning lights are easy to miss on a Nissan Qashqai; finding them is exactly what we are for.

Where a petrol Nissan Qashqai tends to need attention
- Oil consumption. We check oil level and condition and ask the right questions about top-ups, since heavy consumption points to worn rings or seals.
- Timing chain or belt. We listen for chain rattle on start-up and check belt service history, because a skipped interval here is one of the most expensive engine faults to put right.
- Cold-start behaviour. A genuine cold start reveals knocks, smoke and rough running that a warmed-up engine hides.
- Cooling system. Water pump, thermostat and coolant condition are inspected for leaks and overheating risk.
- Turbocharger health. On turbo engines we watch boost behaviour, smoke on load and any whine or shaft play that hints at a tiring turbo.

How much does a pre-purchase inspection of the Nissan Qashqai cost?
An on-site inspection of the Nissan Qashqai starts at 35,999 Ft for the Standard package, where you attend in person and we go through the findings with you at the car. The Digital Inspection Package costs 39,999 Ft and is carried out without you there, with the results sent as photographs, video and a written report by email. The inspection itself is identical in both, the call-out fee within Budapest is included, and there are no hidden extras.
What are the Nissan Qashqai's known trouble spots?
No model is faultless, and a used Nissan Qashqai has a handful of areas worth knowing about. When we inspect one, the points that most often need attention are oil consumption, timing chain or belt and cold-start behaviour. None of these shows from the driver's seat, which is why buyers who search for independent mobile mechanic car check really need an on-site check — and our Nissan Qashqai inspection covers every one.

Do you read the fault codes on the Nissan Qashqai?
Yes — a full on-board diagnostic scan is part of every inspection. On the Nissan Qashqai we capture both live and stored fault codes, including ones a seller may have cleared shortly before your viewing, and we read live data to catch systems that are struggling before any warning light appears. On electric and hybrid versions this also opens up the battery and charging data.

That is exactly what the Digital Inspection Package (39,999 Ft) is built for. We attend the Nissan Qashqai on your behalf, carry out the complete inspection, and send you a detailed report with clear photographs and short video clips by email. It is the natural choice if you are buying from abroad, live in another city, or simply cannot make the viewing in person.

Yes. Whether the Nissan Qashqai is a private sale or sitting on a dealer's forecourt, we apply the same independent, on-the-spot inspection. The emphasis shifts a little — toward history and consistency on a private car, and toward what showroom preparation might be hiding on a dealer car — but the standard we hold it to is identical.
People search for used vehicle inspection — is that what you do for the Nissan Qashqai?
Yes. Used vehicle inspection is simply another way of describing what we do for the Nissan Qashqai: an independent, on-site inspection before you buy.
