2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DS60 AEU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-23 at 144,400 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a concurrent failed test at 144,319 miles also showed no defects. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or misclassification, though the latest valid result indicates the car meets roadworthiness standards. No recurring mechanical issues are evident from the record, and the absence of advisories or critical failures implies the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,025 miles annually. The MOT tests spaced approximately one year apart show steady mileage increases, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation that might indicate neglect. The 2024-02-09 test at 133,572 miles and subsequent 2025-02-04 test at 139,266 miles reflect consistent usage, while the 2026-01-23 pass confirms continued compliance. The record lacks anomalies, suggesting routine maintenance without major interventions. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should verify common Qashqai vulnerabilities. Inspect suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, for wear given the high mileage. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can degrade over time. Additionally, assess the exhaust system for leaks or rust, and evaluate the vehicle’s structural integrity for signs of corrosion, especially in the underbody. While no defects were flagged, these areas are prone to deterioration in older models and warrant in-person scrutiny.
