Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 7 October 2025 at 134,359 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by re-passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed its initial presentation but passed upon re-examination the same day, suggesting the previous owner was willing to rectify identified defects promptly to maintain legal road use. At 134,359 miles over ten years, this Nissan Qashqai has covered a high average of approximately 13,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy use, notably with 8,865 miles recorded between the April 2024 and October 2024 tests, and another 9,483 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. This rapid mileage accumulation places significant stress on high-wear components, particularly the drivetrain, suspension assembly, and braking system. While the most recent test recorded no active defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs. A buyer should check for excessive play in the steering components and ball joints, which are common failure points at this mileage. Given the history of immediate failures, a close look at the brake discs for thinning or signs of seizing is advisable to ensure the system is not nearing the end of its functional life.
