2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · FG60 SWW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 79,279 miles. The absence of any advisories or defects in the last two years suggests a consistent standard of upkeep. A single failure recorded on 20 July 2024 at 74,233 miles indicates a minor setback, but the subsequent pass just five days later shows the issue was rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2010 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,955 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 62,605 miles in July 2022 to 79,279 miles in July 2025. While the low annual mileage suggests light usage, such patterns can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized calipers due to infrequent operation. The consistent annual testing shows a disciplined approach to compliance. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension system and chassis integrity. While the MOT history is clean, low-mileage vehicles of this age often require attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts which may suffer from age-related degradation rather than wear. You should also check for signs of corrosion on the underside and exhaust system, as these are common areas for structural degradation that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure if the corrosion is not yet through-thickness. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the tyres and brake discs for uneven wear or flat-spotting. Check the brake pads and discs for any signs of pitting or corrosion, which can occur when a car sits for extended periods. The overall record indicates a well-maintained vehicle, but the low usage necessitates a close look at all perishable rubber parts and fluid integrity to ensure they have not degraded from lack of use.
