2012 NISSAN QASHQAI1.6L Petrol

The 2012 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-13 inspection at 106,579 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension issues were flagged, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within its age and mileage parameters. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,613 miles annually. Tests at 66,380 (2021), 79,102 (2022), 92,207 (2023), 102,041 (2024), and 106,579 (2025) miles reveal steady, predictable accumulation without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. This pattern implies regular use and consistent servicing, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust systems. While the MOT history shows no immediate concerns, buyers should verify the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion, a common issue in older vehicles, and inspect suspension components for wear, particularly given the model’s known susceptibility to bush degradation. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time without triggering MOT failures. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on these areas will confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
