2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · AF59 HCK

The 2009 Nissan Qashqai presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 10 January 2026 at 109,990 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The only anomaly is an immediate fail-and-pass pair on the same day in both January 2024 at 93,016 miles and January 2026 at 109,990 miles, with no defects listed on either failure. This suggests administrative rejections or documentation errors at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,470 miles per year against the vehicle's 17-year life, with the record showing 93,016 miles on 9 January 2024, 99,048 miles on 8 January 2025, and 109,990 miles on 10 January 2026. That equates to about 6,000 to 11,000 miles added each year, a gentle and consistent accumulation. No long dormant periods or sudden high-use spikes appear in the data. The sparse record carries no advisories across four years, which indicates either light use or that previous owners cleared wear items before each test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the unexplained same-day fail entries. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but DVSA testers often miss underbody rust on a 17-year-old chassis if not raised on a ramp. Verify the V5C and MOT test certificate numbers for the two anomalous January failures to confirm they were clerical rather than concealed defects. Check tyre tread depth and wiper blades as basic consumables despite no advisories logged. The repeated clean passes imply previous owners kept upkeep current, yet the twin fail-pass anomalies warrant confirmation that no genuine fault was quietly corrected between tests on the same day.
