2010 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · ET10 HCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. In the most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 85,097 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues immediately to ensure compliance. The clean record from the July 2024 test onwards indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components have maintained acceptable standards under current use. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 5,319 miles per year. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 3,926 miles, while the period between July 2024 and July 2025 saw 5,423 miles. This consistent, low-level usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or seized brake components, which are not reflected in the mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than mileage-related fatigue. While the MOT record is currently clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of suspension bushes and springs. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, the buyer should verify that the specific items which caused those failures were properly replaced and are not showing signs of recurring issues. Checking the brake discs and caliper corrosion is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from surface rust if left stationary for extended periods.
