NISSAN QASHQAI2012 · 1.6L PETROL

The 2012 Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2025-11-27 at 51,643 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle passing consecutive tests since the 2024-12-02 inspection. The only prior failure was a minor issue with the offside stop lamp, which was resolved before the next test. This suggests consistent upkeep and attention to basic safety systems. The recorded mileage of 51,643 miles over 14 years equates to an average of approximately 3,689 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has seen limited use, possibly due to infrequent driving or long periods of storage. The MOT history shows regular testing with no significant gaps, indicating the owner has maintained compliance. The mileage progression between tests is gradual and consistent, with no sudden spikes that might indicate odometer tampering or irregular usage patterns. Despite the low mileage, buyers should inspect the suspension components closely, as Nissan Qashqais from this era are prone to worn coil springs and failing rear suspension bushes. The 2024-07-30 and 2023-07-17 MOTs noted a slightly loose offside obligatory mirror, which may indicate loose mounting hardware or minor bodywork damage. While not a critical defect, it warrants checking for any underlying structural corrosion or impact damage. Additionally, the stop lamp failure in November 2025, though quickly rectified, highlights the importance of verifying all lighting systems, particularly brake lights, which are essential for safety and compliance.
