2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CY10 HSU

The 2010 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 11 March 2026 at 154,051 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or defects logged across the recent tests. A failed test on 2 March 2026 at 154,049 miles recorded no defects, and the vehicle passed nine days later, indicating the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,600 miles, typical for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 134,536 miles in March 2024, rising to 141,349 by March 2025 and 154,051 by March 2026. That equates to about 12,500 miles in the final year, a modest increase over prior periods but within normal bounds. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any test. The absence of recorded advisories means the tester found no concerning play in steering joints, no worn coil springs, and no exhaust emissions breaches at the last examination. Buyers should still verify structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as rust can develop on high-mileage Qashqai platforms without triggering MOT faults until advanced. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm brake disc thickness and caliper operation given the age. The repeated clean results suggest previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. The two 2024 tests on the same day at identical mileage point to a minor paperwork or presentation issue, not deferred repair. Given the clean history, the principal risk is unseen corrosion or tired dampers that a static MOT bay check may miss.
