2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · BD10 OAX

This Nissan Qashqai presents an exceptionally clean record of roadworthiness, characterized by a total absence of advisories or recorded defects over the last three testing cycles. The pass achieved on 6 October 2025 reinforces a consistent trend of mechanical stability, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common wear-and-tear failures typically associated with this model's age. With a recorded mileage of 85,419 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, the vehicle has averaged approximately 5,339 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates a usage profile far below the UK national average. Mechanically, this suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, although such low usage often means the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding corrosion, suspension linkages, or brake efficiency is notable for a vehicle of this vintage. Typically, vehicles of this age exhibit some degree of subframe corrosion or perished suspension bushes, yet this record shows none of these common failings. This suggests the structural integrity and primary safety components are currently in a satisfactory condition according to official inspections. During a physical inspection and test drive, focus on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted in any component seizure or stiffness. Listen for any unusual knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces to confirm the continued health of the suspension, and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent without any judder. A thorough check of the underbody for any undocumented surface rust will complete the verification of the clean DVSA history.
