There are currently 11 used Nissan Qashqai models available for sale on Motoring Today, ranging from 2014 to 2022. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or road tax, for these cars is important for any potential buyer. The amount of road tax payable in the UK for a used car depends primarily on its first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. For Nissan Qashqai models registered before April 2017, VED is calculated purely based on the car's CO2 emissions, falling into different tax bands. Cars registered from April 2017 onwards, which includes many of the Qashqai models currently in stock up to 2022, follow a different system. These vehicles typically pay a specific first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate in subsequent years. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an extra "premium" surcharge for the first five years of the standard rate. It is also important to note that the VED exemption for fully-electric vehicles is set to change in the future. Because the precise VED figure varies significantly by the individual car's exact registration date, engine, and CO2 output, we cannot provide a specific cost here. For an accurate road tax figure, please check the specific details provided for each Nissan Qashqai listing on Motoring Today.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Nissan Qashqai?
A Nissan Qashqai registered on or after 1 April 2017 pays the flat standard rate of £200 a year for 2026/27. Cars registered between March 2001 and March 2017 pay a CO₂-based band instead. If the car cost over £40,000 new, add the £440/yr expensive-car supplement in years 2–6.
Do electric Nissan Qashqais pay road tax?
Yes — since 1 April 2025 zero-emission cars pay VED. A new electric car pays £10 in its first year, then the £200 standard rate; electric cars registered before April 2025 also pay £200. Electric cars registered before March 2017 pay £20.
What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new pay an extra £440 a year on top of the standard rate for five years, starting from the second licence (years 2–6). For zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025 the threshold is £50,000. It is based on the list price when new, not the price you pay used.
How is road tax calculated for the Nissan Qashqai?
For cars registered from April 2017, VED is a first-year "showroom" rate based on CO₂ emissions, then the flat £200 standard rate every year after. Older cars (2001–2017) stay on the CO₂ band system (bands A–M). You can check the exact rate for any specific car by its registration on the DVLA vehicle-tax service.
How does used-car road tax work in the UK?
For cars registered from 1 April 2017, VED is based on a first-year rate determined by CO2, followed by a standard flat rate. A surcharge applies for cars with a list price over £40,000. Cars registered before April 2017 are taxed based purely on their CO2 emissions bands.
How many Nissan Qashqais are for sale?
There are 17 Nissan Qashqais currently available, ranging from models first registered in 2014 to 2022.
