2010 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · DV10 STX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on December 7 2023 at 170,624 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met the minimum standard following previous failures. While the record shows failures in both 2021 and 2023, the immediate passes following these tests suggest that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects rather than allowing them to persist into the next cycle. At 170,624 miles over 16 years, this Qashai averages approximately 10,664 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a diesel vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between the November 2022 and December 2023 tests, and approximately 6,600 miles between October 2021 and November 2022 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to seized seals or perished rubber in older cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear on this specific model. Although the MOT record lacks specific advisories for the most recent passes, the mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as well as the braking system for signs of caliper binding or excessive thinning discs. Given the high distance, a close look at the structural integrity of the subframe and exhaust mounting points is essential, as these are common areas for corrosion on Qashqai models of this era.
