Reported issues for this Nissan Qashqai
These are the most commonly reported problems on Nissan Qashqai models (2006–2013), based on owner reports and workshop data across the UK.
1. High Oil Consumption
Worn or broken piston oil control rings allow excessive oil to pass into the combustion chamber; alternatively, cylinder bore scuffing permits oil seepage past the rings.[1][2]
2. Timing Chain Premature Wear and Noise
The timing chain is designed for the engine's full service life, but in practice it often stretches or wears before 200,000 km; the tensioner may lose pressure, allowing chain slack; the chain can rattle against guides.[2]
