2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FE62 OPH

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a successful pass on 09 May 2025 at 138,306 miles. The maintenance history indicates an improving trend, as the owner has successfully addressed and rectified failures recorded in 2023 and 2024 to achieve clean passes in subsequent tests. The absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that major mechanical and structural components are currently stable, though the previous failures highlight a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive part replacement. At 138,306 miles over fourteen years, the Qashqai has averaged approximately 9,880 miles per annum, which aligns closely with the national average for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 2,600 miles covered between May 2023 and April 2024, and another 12,234 miles covered in the year leading up to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage which often degrade rubber components and seize brake calipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the previous failures in 2023 and 2024, as the specific defects were not detailed in the summary provided. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lower arms is essential as these are common points of wear on this model. The inspector should also examine for surface corrosion on the sills and subframe points, as structural integrity remains a primary concern for vehicles of this era despite the recent clean MOT result.
