NISSAN QASHQAI2012 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 13 August 2025, though the record provides no specific defect data for that failure, suggesting the issues were rectified quickly to achieve the pass two weeks later. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered roughly 11,758 miles per year over 14 years. The distance between the August 2023 test at 144,100 miles and the August 2024 test at 155,002 miles shows a steady usage of 10,902 miles. The accumulation slowed significantly in the final year, with only 9,612 miles added between August 2024 and August 2025. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or exhaust emissions across the last four years of testing. This lack of documented wear on consumables suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as these are common failure points for this model that may not always be highlighted in a clean pass. Given the 164,614 total miles, check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the rear suspension components. Verify the service history for timing chain or belt replacements, as the MOT record does not track internal engine maintenance.
