2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · DY08 ADO

The 2025‑06‑02 MOT at 119,392 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record and confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. Since the 2023‑07‑31 failure, the owner has resolved any previously noted issues, as the subsequent tests in August 2024 and June 2025 all show clean outcomes. The mileage progression reflects typical use for an 18‑year‑old model: 108,066 miles at the 2023‑07‑31 test, a rise to 115,376 miles by 2024‑08‑17, and the final reading of 119,392 miles in June 2025, averaging about 6,600 miles per year. The intervals between tests span several months, suggesting periods of reduced usage rather than rapid mileage accumulation, and the consistent mileage increase aligns with normal wear patterns. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or excessive play, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, and the condition of the tyre tread and wiper blades assessed as routine consumable items. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a reliable maintenance history with no recurring mechanical failures documented, but a thorough physical inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden corrosion, suspension fatigue, or brake component wear before purchase.
