2012 NISSAN QASHQAI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 106,193 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing subsequent tests shortly after initial failures, though the lack of listed defects during those failures is atypical for DVSA records and suggests very minor issues were rectified immediately. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,585 miles per year. Between 4 July 2023 and 8 July 2025, the odometer rose from 96,256 to 106,193 miles. This steady accumulation of approximately 5,000 miles per annum indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The absence of advisories over the last three years is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle. Most cars of this vintage show some degree of corrosion on the subframe or wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs. The clean records suggest either a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Qashqai failure points that may not have been highlighted in these summaries. Check the rear suspension components for play and inspect the brake discs for lip wear or corrosion. Given the age, a thorough check of the underbody for structural rust is essential to ensure the vehicle's integrity matches the clean MOT paperwork.
