2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DG59 YCW

The 2009 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT test at 110,475 miles. The 2025 entry shows a passed result, though an apparent contradiction exists with a concurrent failed test on the same date, both noting no defects. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the latest valid record confirms compliance. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed no defects, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears to have remained stable over the past three years, with no escalating issues identified. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 6,499 miles annually. The 2022 test at 82,153 miles showed 1,500 miles fewer than the 2023 test, suggesting minimal variation in usage. Subsequent increases of 11,935 miles (2024) and 13,938 miles (2025) reflect steady, predictable wear. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, which reduces concerns about neglect or excessive strain on components. The absence of advisories or failures in all recorded tests supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop over time. The underbody and exhaust system warrant scrutiny for rust, which is common in older vehicles. While no structural issues are flagged in the MOT history, the 17-year lifespan necessitates verification of frame integrity and body panel corrosion. No recurring faults are evident, but proactive checks on high-mileage wear items remain prudent.
