2008 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DCI 2WD 1.5L Heavy oil · TNZ 5038

The most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 207,070 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness requirements at this date. The alternating pattern of PASS and FAIL entries over the last seven years shows no emergence of recurring faults, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. Across an 18‑year lifespan the odometer reads 207,070 miles, averaging roughly 11,500 miles per year. Between the 23 December 2024 test at 178,599 miles and the March 2026 test the mileage rose by about 28,500 miles in 15 months, a higher but still plausible annual rate for a diesel Qashqai. Earlier intervals display steady increments of 8‑10 k miles per year, with no large gaps that would imply prolonged storage. The record is otherwise clean, with no logged advisories or failures beyond the administrative fails. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear items that the MOT does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, as high mileage often accelerates tyre wear. Examine brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, and test the hand‑brake for firm engagement. Check suspension components—particularly front and rear bushings and coil springs—for signs of corrosion or excessive play, which can develop with mileage. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and under‑body panels, and a listen for exhaust leaks are prudent. Confirm that the diesel timing belt (or chain) has been replaced according to the manufacturer’s schedule, as failure here can cause catastrophic engine damage.
