2008 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FE08 EUO

The most recent MOT on 5 October 2024 recorded a pass at 198,847 miles, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. The pattern of alternating passes and failures over the last two years shows a stable trend, as no defects were logged on either outcome. Mileage has risen from 182,828 miles on 1 October 2022 to 198,847 miles on 5 October 2024, an average of roughly 8,000 miles per annum. This aligns with the vehicle’s 18‑year age and suggests consistent use rather than prolonged storage. The record contains no unexplained gaps; the incremental mileage between tests is typical for a car of this vintage. Although the MOT entries list no specific faults, a buyer should still verify consumable wear and structural condition. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as high mileage often accelerates tyre degradation. Examine suspension components—bushes, coil springs, and any audible clunks—to ensure they have not succumbed to fatigue. Check brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that calipers move freely without binding. A visual survey for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and under‑body will reveal any emerging rust that could compromise structural integrity. Finally, confirm that the exhaust system is intact and that emissions remain within legal limits. A hands‑on assessment of these areas will complement the clean MOT history and give a clear picture of the car’s ongoing reliability.
