CK60 CVP MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2010 Nissan Qashqai (CK60 CVP) between April 2024 and June 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 06 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened side and bottom undertray side (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Windscreen wiper not working both fronts (3.4 (a))”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Caution is strongly advised before purch
Given the severity of the 2024 MOT failures — particularly the corroded and seriously weakened sub-frame and rear suspension arms — this Qashqai demands a pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage experienced with Nissan vehicles or corrosion-prone older SUVs. The 2024 advisory noted early surface rust on the rear sub-frame just weeks before the catastrophic failure, which is a useful reminder that advisories on older Qashqais can escalate quickly. Negotiate firmly on price, using the £400-£800 typical cost of sub-frame repair or welding as leverage, and budget for replacement coil springs, headlamp bulbs, and potential suspension arm work. Ask the seller for any invoices relating to the post-failure repairs carried out between June 2024 and the June 2026 test, and verify that the sub-frame was professionally repaired rather than simply patched.
The two headlamp failures (dipped beam on the offside, main beam on the nearside) noted in 2024 may indicate wiring or connector issues common to older Qashqais, so check that all lights function correctly at the time of viewing. The 2024 failure also flagged a non-functional windscreen wiper, which could suggest electrical gremlins. Given the 103,802-mile reading against an annual average of 7,729 miles for this model, the odometer is broadly consistent with typical use, but verify the mileage against service records and any previous MOT certificates you can obtain from the seller.
The 1.5 dCi diesel engine is known for strong fuel economy, typically returning 50-55 mpg in real-world mixed driving, which helps offset higher maintenance costs on a high-mileage example. Road tax for a 2010 1.5 dCi Qashqai falls into a modest band, though exact VED depends on the specific CO2 figure for this variant. Insurance for a 15-year-old family SUV should sit in the lower groups, making it relatively affordable to cover.
Typical annual maintenance for a Qashqai of this age and mileage includes timing belt replacement (due every 5 years or 60,000 miles on the 1.5 dCi), brake discs and pads, and potentially suspension components as wear items. With the corrosion issues evidenced in the MOT history, budget for additional structural and suspension work that may arise. Estimated annual running cost: £900-£1,200, accounting for higher-than-average maintenance given the vehicle's age, mileage, and documented corrosion problems.
The most critical inspection point is the sub-frame and suspension arms, both flagged as 'corroded and seriously weakened' in the 2024 MOT failures. Place the vehicle on a ramp and have a mechanic thoroughly inspect the nearside front sub-frame area, rear suspension arms, and coil springs for rust perforation. Tap suspected areas with a screwdriver — if it goes through, structural welding or sub-frame replacement will be needed. Check all four coil springs for the corrosion pattern that caused the 2024 failure, and inspect spring seats and shock absorber mounts.
Verify that both headlights function on both dipped and main beam, and inspect the wiring loom and connectors for corrosion or damage that could explain the 2024 failures. Examine the brake system comprehensively: the 2024 failure noted parking brake efficiency was only just met, so test the handbrake on an incline and check rear brake adjusters, cables, and shoes. Finally, raise the vehicle and check for oil leaks from the 1.5 dCi engine, particularly around the turbo, injectors, and oil filter housing, which are known weak points on higher-mileage examples.
This red 1.5-litre diesel Qashqai, first registered in September 2010, has covered 103,802 miles across approximately 16 years of use. The MOT record shows two failures in 2024 related to significant corrosion on the sub-frame and suspension arms, alongside coil spring failures and braking concerns. While the vehicle has passed its last two tests, the nature of the 2024 defects suggests underlying structural deterioration that buyers should not overlook.
Across 574,821 Nissan Qashqai examples analysed, the model achieves a 79.5% MOT pass rate, with the most common failure reasons being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads. The structural corrosion issues seen on this individual vehicle, while not unique to the model, tend to affect older higher-mileage diesel examples in areas exposed to road salt.
