2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · AP08 KVE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT on 11 March 2024 at 158,136 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a previous failure just five miles prior on the same day, which suggests a minor administrative or trivial issue was rectified immediately before the successful test. The trend indicates the vehicle has maintained its mechanical pass integrity over the last two years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,785 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 142,631 miles and March 2023 at 150,034 miles, the car covered 7,403 miles. The subsequent interval between March 2023 and March 2024 saw a slightly higher increase of 8,102 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to perished seals or brake component degradation. While the record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common failure points for this generation Qashqai. At 158,000 miles, the suspension components, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs, are likely to show significant wear. The inspector should also check for structural corrosion on the subframe and rear sills, as structural integrity issues often emerge in vehicles of this vintage. Given the lack of recorded brake faults, a manual check for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is essential to ensure the system remains as effective as the MOT record suggests.
