2008 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Petrol

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and unusually clean MOT history for a vehicle of its age. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 170,315 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that preempts common failure points. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 9,462 miles per year. Between 31 October 2022 and 17 November 2025, the odometer rose from 151,700 to 170,315 miles. This steady increase of approximately 18,615 miles over three years indicates the car has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The absence of advisories over the last four tests is rare for a high-mileage vehicle from 2008. There are no recorded trends of failing on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, which are typical weak points for this model. A single failure and immediate pass on 6 December 2023 at 162,599 miles suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Given the 170,315 mile reading, checking the condition of the drivetrain mounts and the smoothness of the gear changes is advisable. The record implies a diligent previous owner, but the age of the vehicle means rubber components and consumables should be verified manually.
