2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · AC59 EPC

The Nissan Qashqai currently holds a failed MOT status from 18 July 2025 at 117,436 miles, with the test recording no specified defects. The maintenance trend is difficult to classify as stable, worsening, or improving because the DVSA entries show passes and fails with no recorded advisories or faults. The most recent failure leaves the vehicle unroadworthy until the presenting issue is corrected and documented. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. The record moves from 89,515 miles on 14 December 2021 to 101,591 miles by 5 February 2023, then 111,781 miles at the 1 April 2024 failure and 112,100 miles at the pass one week later. A 5,300-mile gap between late 2021 and early 2023 suggests lighter annual running, while the 10,000-mile jump from 2023 to 2024 reflects slightly heavier use. The sparse history with no advisories gives little insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer must establish why the July 2025 test failed despite no defects logged, as DVLA systems sometimes omit fault text on administrative fails such as documentation or emissions equipment. The April 2024 fail followed by a pass at near-identical mileage implies a rectified fault within seven days, but the absence of fault detail prevents diagnosis of whether it concerned brakes, suspension, or emissions. Given the clean but incomplete record, a physical inspection should target corrosion on structural members and subframes, front suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and exhaust integrity. The lack of advisories across five tests does not confirm absence of wear; it reflects either diligent upkeep or limited tester annotation. Verify the 2025 failure cause before purchase.
