2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · WL62 AAY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in February 2026 at 108,881 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car has operated without defects in its two most recent inspections. While the history indicates previous failures, the lack of advisories in the latest two tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified faults and ensuring the vehicle meets the minimum testing standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,777 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation, with 5,433 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 4,656 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular use suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which often helps the preservation of rubber seals and mechanical components. The consistent intervals between tests further indicate a routine approach to vehicle ownership management. The recurring failures in February 2024 and 2025 occurred just days before the successful passes, indicating that the issues were likely minor mechanical items rectified immediately upon inspection. Since the record does not specify the exact reasons for those past failures, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Qashqai wear points. Focus on the condition of the rear suspension bushes, control arm ball, and the integrity of the exhaust system for any signs of structural corrosion. Given the age and mileage, checking for brake caliper binding or thinning pipework is essential to ensure the long-term reliability remains sound.
