2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · AG62 GLF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of corrective work. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 112,149 miles shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test in October 2024 where the owner addressed multiple issues including track rod ends, tyre clearance, and binding brakes. The transition from the 2024 failures to a clean 2025 certificate suggests that the previous mechanical faults were effectively rectified. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 14-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 112,149 miles, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. Data points show steady progression from 84,018 miles in October 2022 to 112,149 miles in October 2025. This regular interval of use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and drivetrain components, as these have shown recurring wear. The 2022 and 2024 tests both flagged track rod end issues, and the 2023 test identified deteriorated CV boots on both nearside and offside front inner drive shafts. While these were passed in subsequent years, the history indicates these areas are prone to wear on this vehicle. Checking the integrity of all rubber boots and the condition of the steering linkage is advisable. The brake system also warrants a close examination. The October 2024 test recorded binding rear service brakes on both sides. Although the 2025 test passed without issue, a buyer should check for smooth caliper operation and ensure no sticking occurs during a test drive. Finally, the 2024 advisory regarding a corroded central exhaust flange suggests the underside of the vehicle is subject to typical oxidation. Inspect the exhaust system and structural mounting points for significant corrosion before purchase.
