2010 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record of consecutive passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 131,294 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they could manifest as failures or significant warning markers during annual DVSA testing. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. Between the November 2021 test at 96,612 miles and the December 2025 test at 131,294 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 35,000 miles at steady intervals. This regularity suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components, seals, and braking systems that can suffer from seizing on neglected vehicles. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for a Qashqai of this age. A buyer should examine the suspension components, specifically the wish arms and coil springs, as these often show fatigue at 130,000 miles. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for surface corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is essential to ensure structural integrity remains sound, as MOT tests only flag rust once it reaches a critical threshold. Testing for binding calipers or uneven disc wear will confirm if the clean electronic record reflects the actual mechanical state of the hardware.
