NISSAN QASHQAI2007 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded failures. The most recent test conducted in March 2024 at 184,008 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the primary safety and emissions components met minimum legal standards at that time. This clean record suggests a consistent level of maintenance and a proactive approach to addressing potential issues before they resulted in test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between March 2020 and March 2021, the car covered only 982 miles, showing a period of significantly lower usage. However, usage increased markedly between March 2021 and March 2024, where the vehicle clocked 6,316 miles over a three-year span. While the annual mileage remains typical for this age, the total distance of 184,008 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and rubber components regardless of the clean test results. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas that are not always captured in a standard test. Given the high mileage, examine the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe mounting, as these are common failure points for this model. Inspect the suspension for worn bushes, leaking dampers, or collapsed springs, as these components often degrade after 150,000 miles. Additionally, check the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the hardware.
