2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DA59 GKO

The 2009 Nissan Qashqai presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 27 October 2025 at 141,825 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable in the sense that the most recent test recorded no defects. However, the preceding months show administrative churn rather than mechanical decline: the vehicle failed on 17 September 2025 at 141,651 miles and again on 27 October 2025 at 141,825 miles, both with no defects recorded. Such no-defect failures typically point to documentation or presentation issues at the test centre rather than worsening condition. Mileage stands at 141,825 against a 17-year life, averaging roughly 8,343 miles per year, which is ordinary for a vehicle of this age. The records show 135,661 miles on 22 September 2024 and 141,825 miles by 27 October 2025, equating to about 6,164 miles over thirteen months. This is light annual use. The sparse history, with only two years of entries supplied and clean passes aside from the unexplained failures, gives little basis to judge consumable wear or owner care patterns in depth. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and suspension bushes in person, as the Qashqai of this era is prone to rear subframe corrosion and worn coil springs that a no-defect record will not expose. The brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check despite no binding or imbalance being flagged. The repeated no-defect failures suggest the previous keeper may have presented the car poorly or used test retries to resolve paperwork, so verify the V5C and any gap between the September and October 2025 attempts. Given the clean defect list, serious mechanical risk is not evidenced in the data. The low yearly mileage implies gentler drivetrain use, though standing periods can accelerate rubber perishing and rust. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to validate the underside and emissions hardware beyond the MOT scope.
