2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CP10 TCK

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring mechanical failures and deteriorating consumable components. While the most recent test on 13 December 2025 at 116,944 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged multiple advisories including front tyres worn close to the legal limit and rear tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. The presence of corroded rear suspension components suggests that while immediate safety failures are being addressed, the vehicle is entering a phase where structural and suspension degradation may accelerate. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2010 vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 56,847 miles in April 2017 to 116,944 miles in December 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of failures in the later years, specifically the December 2024 failure involving track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and a split CV boot, indicates that the vehicle is experiencing age-related wear typical of high-mileage components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering systems. The MOT history shows a persistent pattern of issues with track rod ends, ball joints, and anti-roll bar linkages, with failures recorded in November 2022, December 2024, and November 2020. These recurring faults suggest that while individual parts are being replaced, the overall integrity of the front-end geometry and suspension bushings requires close scrutiny. The advisory regarding rear suspension corrosion in December 2025 is a specific point of interest that warrants an inspection for deeper structural rust. Attention should also be paid to the condition of all rubber components and tyres. The record shows a repeated trend of perishing or cracking tyres between 2024 and 2025, alongside previous issues with split CV boots. This indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables. Before purchase, ensure the recent repairs to the drive shaft and steering components have been carried out to a high standard and verify that the brake pads and discs are not nearing the thinness levels noted in the 2017 and 2020 tests.
