2012 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Petrol

The 2012 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 53,460 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 53,460 miles against an approximate 14-year age, equating to roughly 3,819 miles per year. The progression from 41,204 miles on 5 September 2022 to 44,790 miles on 13 September 2023, then 49,690 miles on 10 September 2024, and 53,460 miles on 19 September 2025 shows consistent low annual use with no abrupt accumulation. The history is sparse but clean; a failed test on 13 September 2023 at 44,790 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault, immediately followed by a passing test the same day. Given the absence of flagged wear on consumables or structural items, the MOT record alone implies diligent basic upkeep by previous owners. Low standing mileage can conceal degraded rubber components and corrosion not visible during a static test. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related perishing, and examine subframe and sills for structural rust. Verify the odometer against service stamps to confirm the low-mileage pattern is genuine. Prior to purchase, commission a independent inspection of drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions hardware, as these areas escape MOT detection until failure occurs.
