Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage and the specific failures noted in the MOT history, you should prioritise a professional mechanical inspection. Pay close attention to the suspension system, as the records show multiple issues with ball joints, anti-roll bar linkages, and coil springs in recent years.
Negotiate based on the documented wear. The most recent MOT (June 2026) noted pitted or scored brake discs and a ball joint with slight play. Ensure the seller has addressed these or factor the cost of replacement into your offer. Always check for a consistent service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has been maintained correctly at this high mileage.
The 1461cc diesel engine is typically chosen for its fuel efficiency, though actual costs will depend on driving style and load. Being a 2012 model, you should check the specific Euro emissions standard to understand potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in your area.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Based on the MOT history, you should budget for more frequent replacements of brake pads, discs, and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are expected to be in the mid-to-high range for this vehicle class.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history for this specific vehicle shows a recurring theme of suspension wear, including fractured coil springs and worn bushes in 2024, and ball joint play in 2026. Check all suspension arms and linkages for any signs of movement or noise.
Additionally, inspect the braking components. The records show a history of thin brake pads and pitted/scored discs. Verify that the brake discs and pads are not just within legal limits but have sufficient remaining life. Finally, check all exterior lighting and registration plate illumination, as these have caused failures on this vehicle previously.
This 2012 Nissan Qashqai has covered 159,969 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,756 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to suspension components, braking systems, and lighting. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026, the records indicate a history of wear and tear on critical safety components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.5%, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
