2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · VU57 AGX

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health according to the most recent MOT records, with the February 2026 test resulting in a pass. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories over the last four years indicates a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. While the vehicle failed its initial attempt on February 18, 2026, the immediate pass two days later without any logged defects suggests the failure was likely administrative or related to a minor, easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Accumulating 152,442 miles over nineteen years equates to a consistent annual average of roughly 8,000 miles. The mileage progression remains steady, with approximately 14,000 miles added between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which often helps prevent the issues associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the long-term effects of high-mileage use on the chassis and drivetrain. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough check for structural corrosion in the subframes and sills, as surface rust can often be overlooked in annual tests until it reaches critical levels. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking, as these components are likely original and nearing the end of their functional service life. Finally, verify the condition of the clutch and gearbox, as these high-wear items are common failure points on a Qashqai of this vintage and mileage.
