2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · CY60 BVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on February 12 2026 at 145,412 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same day, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly or was an administrative anomaly. The overall trend of clean passes without advisories across the last three years indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without recurring mechanical failures or escalating structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 and February 2025, the car covered 17,984 miles, representing a slightly higher usage period of roughly 15,000 miles annually, whereas only 5,352 miles were covered between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This regular usage is generally beneficial for a vehicle of this age as it prevents seals from drying out and avoids the corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains necessary to assess the condition of components subject to age and mileage. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these often perish on Qashqais around the 140,000 mile mark. One should also check for brake thinning or binding calipers and inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust, as the MOT test only identifies corrosion once it reaches a significant threshold of depth.
