2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CE12 AEF

This Nissan Qashqai is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 March 2026 at 142,881 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 18 March 2025 and 19 February 2024, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage pattern is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,206 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between February 2024 and March 2025, where the odometer rose from 117,094 to 131,381 miles. The most recent interval shows a further increase of 11,500 miles over one year. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged if the car was well-maintained. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to identify any softening or hairline cracks. The buyer should also verify the service history for timing chain or belt intervals and oil change frequency, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and does not provide data on internal engine health or drivetrain lubrication.
