Used Nissan Qashqai Air Conditioning Condenser

Both years fall within the second-generation Qashqai (J11, 2014–2021), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but Nissan made running production changes during this generation that may affect ancillary fittings and brackets. The engine code is the most important detail to match — check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm it, then give that to the breaker alongside both registration years so they can verify the specific condenser fits before you buy.

No — the J10 (2006–2013) and J11 (2014–2021) are completely different platforms with different front-end dimensions, so the condensers are not interchangeable across that generation boundary. Always source a condenser matched to your generation and engine code, and confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration.

Most Nissan Qashqais sold in the UK were fitted with air conditioning as standard from relatively early in the model's life, so the vast majority do have a condenser. However, a small number of entry-level or fleet-spec vehicles in the J10 generation were sold without air conditioning, meaning they would have no condenser at all — check your V5 spec or look for an AC button on the dashboard to confirm your car has the system before ordering.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna — does not affect which air conditioning condenser is fitted; this is a mechanical component determined by engine code, fuel type, and model generation, not by badge. What may differ between trim levels is whether the car has standard air conditioning or dual-zone climate control, which can affect associated pipework, but the condenser itself follows the drivetrain, not the trim. Match on engine code and year, and confirm with the breaker against your registration.

Fuel type can influence the front-end packaging and how the condenser is mounted, so a petrol and a diesel Qashqai of the same year may not share the same condenser. The engine code on your V5 is the safest detail to supply — give it to the breaker alongside your registration so they can confirm the correct unit rather than relying on fuel type alone.

The J11 received a facelift in 2017 that brought front-end styling changes, and it is possible that condenser mountings or ancillary connections changed at the same time — this is not something we can state with certainty. Name the facelift year (2017) to your breaker and ask them to check the part against both registrations before purchasing, as fitting a mismatched unit can cause leaks or mounting problems.
