2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · ND62 AEA

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 115,208 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes over the last four years, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,229 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 92,344 miles and the March 2025 test at 106,857 miles shows a slightly higher annual usage of 14,513 miles. This increase does not appear to have impacted the vehicle's condition, as the subsequent February 2026 test remained defect free. The record shows a singular failure on 31 March 2023 at 82,762 miles, which was resolved and passed on the same day. Because the tester recorded no specific defects for this failure, it likely involved a minor administrative or easily rectifiable issue. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc degradation across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related wear points that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the gearbox oil and the timing chain for any audible rattling, as these are critical drivetrain components for this model. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface rust, as the MOT record is unusually clean for a 14-year-old vehicle and does not provide a history of structural advisories.
