Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 27 May 2025 at 117,292 miles. This most recent test resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition over the last three years. The record shows a consistent history of compliance, suggesting that the current owner has addressed potential issues proactively before they escalated into formal test failures. The recorded mileage of 117,292 over a fifteen-year lifespan averages approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this category. The progression of mileage remains linear and predictable between 2022 and 2025, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of neglect. While the 2023 test cycle included a brief failure followed by a same-day pass, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely a minor administrative or equipment-related issue rather than a significant mechanical fault. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the vehicle's structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common areas of concern for a Nissan Qashqai of this age. Even with a clean MOT history, check the subframes and sills for signs of corrosion that may have been overlooked or are developing beneath surface treatments. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these parts often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. Verify the operation of the braking system to ensure that the discs and pads are not binding or suffering from uneven wear, despite the absence of recent test advisories.
