2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · GP12 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent test in February 2026 at 108,630 miles. This result follows three consecutive passes without any recorded defects, indicating that the car currently maintains a high standard of operational readiness. The absence of advisories across the last three MOT tests suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed minor mechanical wear and consumable items before they reached a failure threshold. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. A notable gap of 13,041 miles was recorded between September 2022 and October 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 11,737 miles in the sixteen months leading up to February 2026. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake internal corrosion in older, low-mileage vehicles. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common failure points for the Qashqai at the 100,000-mile mark. Focus on the suspension bushes and lower coil springs, as these often show signs of accelerated fatigue at this age. Given the failure recorded in September 2022 at 77,353 miles, verify that the specific faults from that test were properly rectified and check the structural integrity of the sills and rear mounting points for any emerging surface corrosion.
