2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CA12 LDC

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 May 2025 at 47,464 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,390 miles per year. Between 1 June 2022 and 10 May 2025, the odometer moved from 44,084 to 47,464 miles, confirming a steady but light usage pattern. This low accumulation suggests the engine and drivetrain have experienced minimal wear, though it often raises questions regarding periods of inactivity. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion across several years. While the 3 June 2024 failure was resolved within 24 hours, the lack of recorded defects is atypical for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the rubber components, such as tyre sidewalls and coolant hoses, as these often perish due to age regardless of low mileage. Attention should also be paid to the braking system. Vehicles that spend long periods standing are prone to binding calipers or pitted brake discs. Given the absence of any flagged issues in the DVSA data, a physical check for surface rust on the underbody and a test of the electrical systems will confirm if the vehicle has been stored in a climate-controlled environment or left exposed to the elements.
