2010 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · CE10 TZP

The 2010 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 4 September 2025 at 117,447 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a pass on 3 August 2024 at 112,579 miles, indicates the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order with no immediate advisories or failures to address. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the August 2024 test at 112,579 miles and the September 2025 test at 117,447 miles, the car covered 4,868 miles over roughly thirteen months. This aligns with the overall lifetime average of approximately 7,340 miles per year. The record shows no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage, suggesting regular and steady use rather than prolonged standing or high-mileage abuse. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of wear. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the suspension components, including front and rear coil springs, drop links, and anti-roll bar bushes, for deterioration common on a sixteen-year-old crossover. The underside and wheel arches must be examined for corrosion, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points, as structural rust can develop without triggering an MOT failure until advanced. The braking system warrants close attention. Check the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and ensure the calipers are not binding, a common issue on this model. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the tread depth across all four corners, as uneven wear can indicate tracking or suspension geometry faults. Finally, verify the operation of the exhaust system and catalytic converter, listening for any leaks or rattles that could affect future emissions compliance.
