2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CT59 FSZ

The 2009 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 137,062 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. A minor anomaly exists in the record from May 2024, where a test on the 7th recorded a failure at 106,477 miles despite listing no defects, followed by a clean pass just two days later on the 9th at 106,478 miles. This suggests an administrative error or an immediately rectified minor fault rather than a persistent mechanical issue. The vehicle has covered 137,062 miles over roughly seventeen years, averaging approximately 8,062 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical annual usage. The mileage progression reveals a notable gap between February 2025 and January 2026, during which the odometer jumped from 109,622 miles to 137,062 miles. This represents a sudden accumulation of 27,440 miles in under twelve months, a significant spike compared to the previous steady increments of around 11,000 to 14,000 miles per year. Such a rapid increase in a short timeframe suggests a shift from local commuting to sustained high-mileage motorway use, placing accelerated wear on consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain. Given the recent surge in mileage, a buyer must inspect the condition of high-wear components closely. Check the brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear, and verify that the calipers operate without binding. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-speed motorway miles can mask wear that manifests as clunks or vague handling at lower speeds. The exhaust system and mounting rubbers also warrant a thorough check for corrosion or fractures. While the MOT record remains entirely free of advisories, the sheer volume of recent miles demands a physical inspection of the tyres for uneven wear patterns and the drivetrain for any excessive play or fluid leaks.
