2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · BD59 WSZ

This vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the most recent test expired on January 23, 2026. The maintenance record reveals a recurring pattern of neglect, characterized by frequent failures on basic consumables and steering components that should have been addressed through routine servicing. While the vehicle passed its final test in January 2025, the history of repeated failures suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where repairs are only performed under the pressure of an MOT inspection rather than through proactive ownership. The recorded mileage of 168,133 miles over seventeen years averages approximately 9,890 miles annually, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The accumulation remains steady, though the consistent failure to address minor defects until the point of testing indicates that the vehicle has likely been subjected to minimal preventative care. The lack of an MOT for the past six months is a significant concern, as it leaves the current mechanical state of the drivetrain and suspension entirely unverified. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension systems, as track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and ball joints have been flagged repeatedly since 2019. The history of corroded suspension arms noted in late 2022 is particularly concerning, as this indicates potential structural vulnerability that requires a professional lift inspection to confirm the current integrity of the chassis. Furthermore, the recurring issues with lighting, brake pad wear, and constant velocity boot deterioration suggest that the vehicle will likely require immediate investment in basic mechanical upkeep to meet current roadworthiness standards.
