2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DG08 AEY

The 2008 Nissan Qashqai passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 137,442 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status and a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle cleared every test it presented for with no advisories or mechanical faults logged, showing no worsening or recurring defect pattern in the official record. The mileage data reveals an irregular accumulation pattern for a vehicle of this age. At the 6 March 2023 test the odometer read 131,094 miles, rising only modestly to 132,689 miles by 11 March 2024. The car then jumped to 135,217 miles for a failed test on 13 March 2025, before a passed retest one day later at 81,678 miles on 14 March 2025, an obvious clerical error in the DVSA entry. By the March 2026 test the reading corrected to 137,442 miles. Annual use averaged near 7,600 miles, typical for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, though the sparse five-entry history limits insight into earlier care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and 137,000-plus miles, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm the condition of wear components beneath reporting thresholds. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close examination, since the Qashqai of this era is prone to underbody rust that a clean MOT may not yet capture. The unexplained failed test on 13 March 2025 with no defects listed suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA backend to confirm the mileage discrepancy was a recording error. Given the clean trailing record, the vehicle presents as reasonably maintained, yet in-person checks on consumables and hidden structural integrity remain essential before purchase.
