2009 Nissan Qashqai N-TEC DCI 1.5L Heavy oil · CV59 OVE

The Nissan Qashqai passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2023 at 106,420 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by quick passes. This suggests the vehicle required minor rectification before certification rather than suffering from unresolved mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 106,420 miles against a 2009 registration gives an average of roughly 6,260 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age. Between the 11 May 2022 failure at 94,429 miles and the 17 May 2022 pass at 94,540 miles, only 111 miles were added. A similar pattern occurred before the 2023 test, with a failure at 105,984 miles on 19 May 2023 and a pass at 106,420 miles on 1 June 2023 after just 436 miles. These short intervals between failure and pass imply the owner addressed faults promptly but left testing to the last moment. The MOT record shows no advisories or defects listed across any entry, including both failures. The absence of recorded reasons for the 2022 and 2023 failures is unusual and prevents proper assessment of brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of the underbody for rust, check the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes, and measure brake disc wear and exhaust emissions before purchase. Given the vehicle is now over three years beyond its last recorded test, the 2023 certificate will have expired. Any sale today requires a fresh MOT. The sparse history offers no evidence of neglected consumables, but the undocumented failures warrant physical verification of all safety-critical components.
