2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · NU58 AEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 November 2021 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a series of failures in 2017‑2019; the last three tests (2019, 2020, 2021) are clean, indicating a stable and resolving pattern. The most recent pass at 128,280 miles confirms the car meets current standards. Over 18 years the car has accumulated 128,280 miles, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per year. The MOT entries reveal a steady mileage rise of about 10‑14 k miles each year, with the interval between the 2020 and 2021 tests covering roughly 9,425 miles in 11 months. The record is dense, with no significant gaps, reflecting regular testing and consistent usage. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for wear and pitting, check pad thickness as they were noted wearing thin, and examine the front suspension arm bushes which have shown deterioration. Steering play at the inner rack joint is a recorded issue, and both front tyres have been close to the legal tread limit. Past failures of rear fog and registration plate lamps suggest a thorough check of all lighting circuits, especially rear fog and plate lamps. Visual inspection should also cover the under‑body for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sill panels, as the MOT does not capture rust items. Beyond the MOT scope, a compression test on the engine and a leak test on the cooling system are advisable to confirm mechanical integrity. These checks will complement the documented history and ensure the drivetrain and cooling systems are free from hidden wear.
