2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DS60 AEW

This Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 3 February 2026 at 141,871 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to March 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage accumulation is typical for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,867 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, though there was a notable increase of 10,336 miles between March 2022 and February 2025. The most recent interval from February 2025 to February 2026 saw the mileage rise by 9,636 miles, suggesting regular and consistent usage rather than periods of prolonged standing. The absence of any advisories or failures over the last five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Usually, a Qashqai from 2010 would show evidence of worn suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depletion. The lack of recorded defects suggests the previous owner proactively replaced consumables before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, as surface rust often precedes a formal failure. Verify the condition of the clutch and gearbox operation, as these drivetrain components are not specifically tested for wear during a standard MOT. Finally, inspect the service history for evidence of timing chain or belt replacements to ensure the engine's long-term mechanical integrity.
