2008 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · HG08 AEW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 6 June 2025 at 136,256 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without noted mechanical failures or recurring issues over the last three years. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,570 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 125,863 miles and the June 2025 test at 136,256 miles, the vehicle covered 10,393 miles. This indicates steady, moderate usage rather than periods of prolonged standing or excessive wear. The MOT record is unusually clean for an 18 year old vehicle, showing no recorded defects or advisories since May 2023. While the absence of flagged issues suggests a well-maintained car, the lack of any mentioned consumables like tyre tread or brake pad wear is atypical for this mileage. A buyer should manually check the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes to ensure they have been replaced outside of the MOT process. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. The tester did not flag any rust in the 2025 test, but these areas often deteriorate invisibly. Verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals will confirm if the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT record.
