2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · CT12 HXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test on 14 November 2025 at 171,048 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, despite a curious failure the previous day which recorded no specific faults. This suggests a clerical error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately without indicating deeper mechanical failure. The lack of advisories across the 2022 to 2025 period indicates a vehicle that meets minimum legal standards consistently. At 171,048 miles, this Qashqai has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year. The usage pattern shows consistent annual operation, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 9,000 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat sat for long periods, which helps prevent seals from drying and brake seizing, but it places high-demand stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas typical of high-mileage Nissan models. Given the distance, a close inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to identify signs of play or fatigue. The braking system requires a check for thin discs and binding calipers, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear of these consumables. While the MOT history is clean, the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody should be verified for corrosion, which often affects vehicles of this age and usage level.
