2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · BD60 OKL

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently rated as Pass for the MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a significant deterioration in the rear suspension and brake systems that requires immediate inspection. The most recent test on 2025-06-13 was passed, followed by two failed tests on 2024-06-18 and 2023-06-28. The failure on 2024-06-18 is attributed to insufficient washer fluid, whereas the 2023-06-28 failure is driven by structural defects including a split or insecure constant velocity boot and a binding rear brake. The mileage pattern indicates a rapid accumulation of wear that has not been offset by basic upkeep. At 92,729 miles (approx. 5,796 miles per year), the car is roughly 16 years old, yet the MOT has failed twice on the same date in June 2024, suggesting that basic maintenance was skipped during this interval. The data shows a clear gap between the 2024-06-18 test and the 2023-06-28 failure, where the car's condition worsened significantly from passing to failing in a single month. This rapid mileage increase correlates with the severity of the structural issues found at the 2023-06-28 test, specifically the failing gearbox mounting and the thin brake pads. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the integrity of the suspension bushings and coil springs, the condition of the brake discs and rotors, and the wear on the rear brake pads. Given the history of binding brakes and insufficient washer fluid, the washer system must be checked for leaks or failure, and the brake pads should be measured for thickness to ensure they are not too thin. Additionally, the constant velocity boots on the front and rear driveshafts must be examined for cracks or separation, as these are the primary causes of the binding issues reported in the 2023-06-28 test.
