2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · YE58 AFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing history. The latest MOT on 09 October 2025 at 85,711 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three miles prior. This suggests a minor adjustment or bulb-related issue was rectified immediately. Over the last two years, the car has maintained a clean pass record without recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2008 model year, averaging approximately 4,762 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 1,699 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 1,681 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading or brake calipers seizing if the vehicle is not regularly exercised A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Examine the suspension bushes, wish arms, and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these often perish on low-mileage vehicles. Check the brake discs for pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding due to lack of use. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the underside structural integrity and sill mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden rust has compromised the chassis despite the clean MOT history.
