2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · BK57 AAZ

The 2007 Nissan Qashqai currently holds a valid MOT pass certificate issued on 20 September 2023 at 123,602 miles, with no defects recorded. This represents a clean, stable maintenance trend following a previous failure earlier the same day. The earlier failure on 16 September 2022 at 114,000 miles was rectified within the same day, suggesting prompt attention to whatever issue arose. There is no evidence of recurring faults or worsening conditions across the available records. Mileage accumulation averages approximately 6,500 miles per year, which aligns well with the vehicle's age. The gap between the October 2021 test (98,121 miles) and the September 2022 tests (114,000 miles) indicates roughly 15,881 miles covered in just over a year, a slightly higher annual rate but still reasonable. The most recent test in September 2023 shows only 9,602 miles added from the prior year, reflecting lighter usage. The service history appears consistent, with no concerning gaps or excessive mileage spikes. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise inspecting the front and rear suspension components, including wishbone bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links, as these commonly deteriorate on Qashqais of this era. Brake condition, particularly rear brake discs and caliper operation, warrants close examination despite no recorded failures. Check for corrosion along the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe mounting points, areas prone to moisture trapping. Finally, verify the functionality of the electric handbrake mechanism, which can develop faults as the cables and motor age.
