2010 Nissan Qashqai Acenta DCI 1.5L Diesel · FL53 SHA

The 2010 Nissan Qashqai Acenta dCi presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 20 January 2026 at 112,109 miles. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A prior failure on 13 October 2022 at 93,753 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative error or a minor issue swiftly rectified, as evidenced by the subsequent pass just sixteen days later on 29 October 2022 at 94,093 miles. Since that point, the vehicle has passed three consecutive MOTs without a single advisory, demonstrating consistent upkeep by the current keeper. Accumulating 112,109 miles over roughly sixteen years equates to an annual average of approximately 7,007 miles, which falls well within typical usage parameters for a diesel family crossover. The mileage progression reveals steady, incremental accumulation rather than erratic spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the January 2025 test at 106,593 miles and the January 2026 test at 112,109 miles, the vehicle covered 5,516 miles, aligning perfectly with the established yearly average. This consistent usage pattern implies regular running, which helps prevent the moisture buildup and component seizure often seen in vehicles left standing for extended durations. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The sixteen-year-old chassis requires close scrutiny for corrosion, particularly around the rear suspension mounting points, sills, and subframes, which are common failure areas on the Qashqai platform. Buyers should examine the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes, as high-mileage diesel variants often endure heavier wear on these components. The braking system demands a thorough check for disc thickness and pad wear, alongside ensuring the calipers operate without binding. While the exhaust emissions have passed recent tests, verifying the condition of the diesel particulate filter and checking for any oil leaks around the turbocharger will confirm the long-term health of the 1.5 dCi powertrain.
