2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CK10 HPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 150,961 miles passed with no defects, it followed a failure just day prior due to a damaged nearside track rod end. This suggests a trend where components are only addressed once they reach the point of MOT failure. The overall condition appears stable in terms of passing, but the frequent failures indicate consistent wear and tear across multiple systems. At 150,961 miles over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,435 miles per year, which is consistent with typical national averages for a car of this age. The record shows a consistent testing schedule with most tests performed annually, though there is a notable gap between April 2018 and August 2020. The mileage accumulation remains steady, with roughly 5,000 to 8,000 miles added between annual inspections, though the high cumulative mileage has likely accelerated the degradation of rubber-based suspension components and drivetrain seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering, as track rod ends and lower arm bushes have appeared repeatedly in 2021, 2022, and 2024. The nearside drive shaft CV boot is another known point of failure, failing in both 2021 and 2024, requiring a close check for grease leakage or tearing to prevent imminent joint failure. Additionally, the history of thin brake pads and perishing tyres suggests that consumables are often run until they are borderline, necessitating a thorough check of the current brake hardware and tyre sidewall condition.
