2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · XKZ 5036

The 2009 Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy. In the July 2025 test at 49,418 miles the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. The preceding annual tests from 2021 to 2024 also returned passes, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. No deterioration trend is evident; the history shows consistent compliance. Mileage accumulation has been modest. Between 2021 and 2025 the odometer rose from 35,637 to 49,418 miles, an average of roughly 2,900 miles per year. The intervals between tests are roughly twelve months, and the most recent inspection was conducted on 2025‑07‑21, which is eleven months before the present date of 2026‑08‑08. The low mileage for a 17‑year‑old vehicle suggests limited duty cycles, though periods of inactivity can affect battery health and fluid condition. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and trailing‑arm mounts for wear, as these components are subject to age‑related hardening. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, and the tyre tread depth checked against the 2‑mm legal limit. The under‑body and wheel arches need scrutiny for rust, especially around the sill and floor panels, given the vehicle’s age. A visual check of the battery terminals, coolant level and brake fluid condition will reveal any neglect that MOT testing may not have caught.
