2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DY10 AEG

The 2010 Nissan Qashqai demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 2023-04-19 at 150,198 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming compliance with safety standards. Previous tests from 2022 and 2021 also showed passes at 141,123 and 125,262 miles respectively, with no recorded issues. A duplicate entry for 2021-05-21 lists a fail at the same mileage, though no defects were logged, suggesting a potential administrative error. Overall, the vehicle has maintained consistent performance without significant mechanical or structural concerns in the last four years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,387 miles annually. The 2020-05-27 test at 113,027 miles shows a 12,236-mile gap to the 2021-05-21 test, which is reasonable for a yearly inspection. The jump to 141,123 miles by 2022-05-23 reflects a 28,096-mile increase in 12 months, indicating heavier use during that period. No anomalies in mileage accumulation are evident, and the absence of recurring defects in the last three tests suggests no systemic deterioration in critical systems. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the vehicle’s age, as bushings and coil springs may show wear. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion in underbody areas could affect long-term reliability. The MOT record lacks details on exhaust emissions or corrosion, so a thorough check of these elements is advised to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing compliance.
