2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · AY58 WGC

The 2008 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 187,342 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows four consecutive clean passes from June 2021 through June 2024, showing no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the five-year window. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle. The records show 146,163 miles in June 2021, rising to 157,872 by June 2022, 168,364 in June 2023, 178,492 in June 2024, and 187,342 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, listing zero advisories across all five entries, which suggests either careful upkeep or that the tester logged no wear items needing attention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 187,342-mile total. The clean MOT history does not rule out worn components the tester deemed within limits. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close checking, as the Qashqai of this era is prone to rust that may not yet breach test thresholds. Verify service history to confirm consumables such as timing chain, clutch, and dampers were replaced at interval. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept the car to minimum test standard, but high mileage means mechanical fatigue can appear between tests without warning.
