2009 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Diesel · EK09 WMF

The vehicle is currently without a valid MOT, but the most recent test on 7 May 2025 recorded a pass at 156,620 miles. The maintenance trend shows two consecutive failures followed by immediate passes in both 2024 and 2025, indicating intermittent faults that were rectified each time. This pattern suggests a stable but potentially problematic upkeep cycle, where issues such as brake binding or suspension wear may have been addressed promptly but recur. Between January and May 2024 the mileage rose from 133,541 to 138,800 miles, a gain of 5,259 miles in roughly four months, and over the following twelve months to May 2025 the odometer increased by 17,818 miles. This acceleration exceeds the average 9,200‑mile annual wear for a 17‑year‑old model, pointing to heavier usage and higher stress on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension components. The data gaps between the January 2024 failure and the May 2024 tests are minimal, so the record is relatively complete. A buyer should closely examine the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the two back‑to‑back failures could relate to brake modulation. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for cracking or excessive wear, given the higher mileage and the possibility of structural fatigue. The exhaust and under‑body should be checked for corrosion or rust, especially around wheel arches, because the vehicle has spent many years exposed to UK weather. Finally, tyre tread depth and sidewall condition are critical, as the elevated annual mileage suggests more aggressive wear patterns.
