2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CE12 ADZ

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and unusually clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 December 2024 at 126,059 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents common wear-and-tear failures from manifesting during annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 104,295 miles and the December 2024 test at 126,059 miles, the car covered 21,764 miles. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle has avoided long periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A curious entry appears on 2 December 2022, where the vehicle failed an MOT at 115,845 miles, only to pass six days later at 115,850 miles with no defects listed. The lack of recorded reasons for this failure is atypical, but the immediate resolution suggests a minor administrative error or a quick fix of a simple consumable item. Despite the clean record, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for corrosion, as the MOT history does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis or suspension mounting points. Given the 126,059 mileage, checking for play in the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs is advisable. The absence of advisories over several years is positive, but it does not replace a physical check of the oil condition and drivetrain smoothness.
