2009 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · EY09 VJM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 73,589 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by retest passes. While the latest inspection resulted in no defects, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest that the previous owner was reactive, addressing issues only when a test failed rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 73,589 miles represents an average usage of approximately 4,329 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average, suggesting the car has seen light use or has sat stationary for extended periods. The data between the August 2023 test at 68,242 miles and the July 2024 test at 70,992 miles shows an interval of just 2,750 miles. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically looking for perished bushes or leaking shock absorbers, which are common on low-mileage older vehicles. Given the age of the car, check the brake calipers for signs of seizing or uneven wear caused by infrequent use. Although the MOT record shows no structural failures, the integrity of the underside sills and wheel arches must be verified to ensure corrosion has not begun to compromise the frame despite the clean test history.
