2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CP60 GCK

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend as it reaches higher mileage, with the most recent test in January 2026 at 123,137 miles revealing a significant accumulation of advisories. While the car passed the inspection, the tester flagged multiple issues including pitted brake discs, underbody corrosion, a front oil leak, and several tyres worn close to the legal limit. This represents a notable decline in upkeep compared to the clean record seen in December 2023 at 113,068 miles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 18,510 miles in early 2014 to the current 123,137 miles. There are no obvious periods of long-term stagnation, though the frequency of mechanical advisories has increased sharply since the 100,000-mile mark. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle due to the reported underbody corrosion and the front oil leak noted in the 2026 test. The suspension history shows recurring issues with ball joints and track rod ends, with slight play appearing in the offside front ball joint in both the October 2024 and January 2026 tests. This suggests a pattern of wear in the steering and suspension components that may require imminent replacement. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The January 2026 test identified worn and pitted discs on both the front and rear axles, following a failure in February 2018 related to parking brake efficiency. Given the recent advisories regarding multiple tyres being near the legal limit, the vehicle appears to be entering a phase where significant consumable expenditure on tyres, brakes, and suspension components will be necessary to maintain roadworthiness.
