2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DS60 AET

The 2010 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent December 2024 MOT at 140,956 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance through annual tests since 2021, including a 2022 test that inexplicably showed a ‘FAILED’ status but no recorded defects. This suggests either a data anomaly or a minor issue resolved prior to the subsequent 2023 pass. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the history, indicating consistent maintenance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,810 miles annually. Annual MOTs at 114,450, 122,054, 133,643, and 140,956 miles confirm regular testing intervals, with no gaps exceeding 12 months. The 2022 test at 122,054 miles recorded a failure but no defects, raising questions about the accuracy of the outcome. Otherwise, the history shows no signs of rapid wear or neglect, with no advisories for critical components like suspension, brakes, or exhaust. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. While no corrosion or structural issues are noted, the vehicle’s 140,956 miles warrant inspection for wear on brake discs and potential binding calipers. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but physical checks are essential to confirm the integrity of high-mileage parts and ensure no unresolved issues from the 2022 failure.
