2010 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · AD10 AXT

The 2010 Nissan Qashqai presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 5 September 2025 at 142,008 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA log shows no defects, advisories, or repeated failures across the last five tests. A failed entry on 5 September 2025 at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass the same day. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,876 per year for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 118,407 miles in September 2022, rising to 122,570 by August 2023, 132,906 by September 2024, and 142,008 by September 2025. The accumulation is steady at roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles yearly with no dormant gaps or sudden high-use spikes. The clean sheet across every test suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the absence of advisories on an older high-mileage chassis should not be read as proof of underlying condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record logs none but a 142,000-mile Nissan of this era commonly develops structural rust and worn arms. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust integrity warrant hands-on checks despite no tester flags. The same-day fail and pass in September 2025 means the vehicle entered the newest test cycle unroadworthy on paper for minutes; confirm no suppressed defect prompted the reversal. Given the sparse but clean history, the Qashqai shows no worsening pattern and no recurring fault trend. The lack of advisories across four years implies either diligent upkeep or light-touch testing. Treat the mileage as honest and the roadworthiness as acceptable, subject to a independent mechanical appraisal of wear items the MOT did not capture.
